Usage

Overview

The hyprpicker utility is a color-picker with support for various output formats. When hyprpicker is invoked the cursor is transformed into a magnifying lens, and clicking on any pixel of the screen will print out that pixels color to the standard output. The default output format is hexadecimal, but that can be configured with the -f option.

The options are as follows:

-a, --autocopy

Automatically copy the output of hyprpicker to the clipboard. This option requires that the wl-copy(1) command is installed on system.

-f fmt, --format=fmt

Select the format to output the selected pixels color in. The argument fmt is case-insensitive. The available options are:

cmyk

(“C% M% Y% K%”)

hex

(“#RRGGBB”)

rgb

(“R G B”)

hsl

(“H S% L%”)

hsv

(“H S% V%”)

The default format is hex.

-n, --no-fancy

Disable colored output. Default behavior is to color the output in the same color as the selected pixel.

-h, --help

Display a help message and exit successfully from the program.

-c, --cursor

Include the cursor in the frozen preview.

Environment

NO_COLOR

If set, disables colored output.

Exit status

The hyprpicker utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
