One thought: it would be even cooler if one could select text that was a color like #00ff00 and have the color picker open with that color selected. For those of us who need translating *to* colors as well.
Not that this is the same, but do you know Pixie from the development tools? It has the ability to "lock" the view and then one can click the magnified pixels to see the RGB/HSV value.
It also has a "copy color to clipboard". Although what it does is place the Objective-C code to create the corresponding NSColor object onto the clipboard (as a string).
Speaking of which, is there any program which actually put a real color on the clipboard? For beta 6 I've added support for dropping colors onto TM and wanted to do the same for pasting, but I have yet to find a program which actually store colors on the normal clipboard.
