ColorSlurp
Free, with ColorSlurp Pro at $19.99/yr (in-app purchase, per the Mac App Store listing)
Price checked at source September 18, 2026.
A free color picker for Mac and iOS with a precision magnifier, palette manager, and OKLCH/LAB/Display P3 support — over 10,000 five-star App Store ratings.
Our take
The magnifier is the draw: move it with the cursor or arrow keys, long-press to slow it down for pixel-perfect picks, and copy straight to whatever format the moment calls for, including a custom format you define yourself. The free tier covers picking and basic organizing; ColorSlurp Pro ($19.99/yr per the App Store listing) adds the camera color picker, palette export, unlimited palettes, and color harmonies. Syncs palettes across devices via iCloud.
