gpick − advanced color picker
gpick [FILE]
gpick starts an application and opens FILE if it is specified

Print version information.
−g, −−geometry

−p, −−pick
Pick a color. You can insert the color at point to the clipboard by pressing CTRL-C. To hide the floating instance, press ESC.
When this option is used, gpick is left running in the background, so that all other floating instances don’t start a new process. If closing the process is needed, then use the -s flag.
−s, −−single
Pick one color and exit.
−o, −−output
Output picked color.
−c, −−converter−name
Converter name used for floating picker mode. Available converters are "color_web_hex", "color_css_rgb" and "color_css_hsl".
−−no-newline
Output picked color without newline.
−−no-start
Do not start if not running already.
Here are some gpick usage examples
gpick −o −s
Opens a floating instance (i.e. it is not left run in the background) and send the selected color to STDOUT.
gpick −o −s −c color_css_hsl | xclip -sel c
Inserts the selected color into the CLIPBOARD using the CSS HSL notation.
