create new colors from codes

[27 houdini's]

i am looking for a simple app to find colors, like the option you have in photoshop or illustrator.

Say you have a color. to get a variant, i c&p the code, say #aacb23, in the photoshop color picker window and tweak it a little to get a different version of the color.

But it's a bit silly to start Photshop just to find a color. There's plenty of colorpicker type apps, but none in which in can C&P a code....

Use Firefox and the Webdeveloper extension

Edit the CSS. For example I'm changing the background color of this box as I type this.

.vBulletin_editor {
background: #aacb23;
padding: 6px;

It would be easier to set up a dummy file with more easily found css values then use that.

You could get really clever and set up a php based file that calculates values near what you enter.
