I also sometimes combine this with Digital Color Meter (found in the Applications/Utilities/ folder on your Mac) since its zoom view makes it a little easier to pick colors from the screen. The source code for Spot Color is on github too, which is always nice.

It's just a simple application wrapper that launches the system-wide color picker. Since it uses the built-in color picker, you can utilize the system wide color picker plugins and swatches. This allows you to quickly grab colors without having to be in an image editing app like Photoshop. Spot Color is a simple application that allows you to use the standard Mac OS X color picker as a stand-alone app. There you have it, this is how you can add any color. Optionally, tap on the ‘+’ button from the color selection menu to add this color to your device’s color palette. Now enter the Hex Color code of your choice next to Display P3 Hex Color. From the Color menu tap on the Sliders tab. Wouldn't it be great to be able to use it as a standalone app? That's exactly what Spot Color does: Access the Markup tool and tap on the Colors button. The built-in Mac OS X one is great, but it needs to be launched from within an existing application.
