Key takeaways for Colour Picker!
Where is it heading?
The market for design utilities is consolidating around tools that offer cloud-sync and cross-platform project management. Colour Picker! remains stable as a local utility, but its lack of active development leaves it exposed to competitors that offer more robust workflows.
