If you wonder about linux: gcolor2 (http://gcolor2.sourceforge.net/) does the job.

And for size fetishists: it weights 42KB.

Also, xmag, you already have it installed if you use the X Window System. It's 41kb, extremely lightweight (always starts instantly) and also magnifies a screen portion which is helpful for picking colours.

Something I never realized about xmag is that if you click on a pixel, it tells you that pixel's color as a hex triple.

Maybe.

It looks like it's been spun out into `x11-apps` on debian based distros in the last year or two, and for some reason I don't have that package installed despite using X

One good option for Windows is COPI, 88 KB .exe: https://www.heise.de/download/product/copi-colorpicker-65782

And the EXE is only 32 KB when UPX is applied on it. And uses only 1 MB of RAM when running.
