color wheel software? [SOLVED]
is there something like this:
http://www.allprofitallfree.com/color-wheel2.html
that we can run from our desktop to help pick out colors and their codes?
it would be even better if it were like the colorpicker in gimp for instance.
(i couldn't find anything on a search for it on arch or google, though something may eventually show up after the first 10 pages of the latter.)

Re: color wheel software? [SOLVED]
I was going to write:
It's fairly simple, but if you have zenity installed (pacman -S zenity) you could also use
zenity --color-selection
or
zenity --color-selection --show-palette
which will produce a GTK-color selection dialogue box with a nice GUI, and will output the color code chosen to stdout, which can be used nicely and easily in scripts.
But now I seem to be having a problem with it producing some extra characters in the output.

Re: color wheel software? [SOLVED]
thx to both of you gazj and frabjous!
my problems are now solved and very nicely too.
zenity looks like a multipurpose and potentially useful program too, containing something almost identical to gcolor2 and is already install in gnome.
