A sleek, wlroots-native color picker for Wayland built for Hyprland with a focus on speed, accuracy, and simplicity.

✨ Description

Hyprpicker is a blazing-fast, minimal, and accurate color picker built for Wayland compositors like Hyprland.
It lets you instantly grab any color from your screen with pixel-perfect precision.

Hyprpicker is designed to just work with clipboard copying, format selection, zoom lens, and desktop notifications.

🚀 Usage

By default, the color is printed to stdout. Combine it with options like clipboard copy or notification for a smoother experience.
