I wrote this tool to have a convenient and fast method to pick color’s for my scripts. Normally I have a website open in a browser to copy the name from there, but as each website has it’s own layout how to display the colors, in most cases I either have to scroll a lot, it doesn’t has all values or is wrapped by adds and a lot of obsolete text. Also when sorting the colors into categories, it can quite vary how it’s done. While the sorting might is mathematical logical, from a visual point of view it sometimes doesn’t make sense at all.

With this tool, I have a compact overview of all colors, sorted by hue and I can quickly copy name, hex or RGB value (based on selected copy option) by clicking on the color and then just paste into my script.

The UI is using tkinter, while the colors are the CSS4 palette from matplotlib.
