Product Description:
Tangerine color management software provides graphic designers and creative professionals with a unique color workflow experience. Now you can have the color you want, when you want it, how you want it. Tangerine offers new and enhanced color support to OS X.
Through integration with several leading graphics applications (Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks, Flash and others) plus Apple's Colors panel, Tangerine takes the hassle out of applying color schemes across multiple and even unrelated applications.
At the same time, Tangerine bridges the gap between the color you can see and its practical application on a Mac. It painlessly transforms visual colors into syntax for a range of programming languages, providing coders with drag and drop and one-click color syntax for use with Objective-C, Java, ActionScript, REALbasic and languages that use hexadecimal color syntax.
Tangerine adds new and timesaving color management features that include shortcut functions to apply and retrieve color properties, palette sharing for team projects, palette color space restrictions and the capacity to track incremental changes to a color.
Like the perfect assistant working quietly in the background, Tangerine orders and files all your color schemes so they can be retrieved and used with ease.

- Resizable Palette Window – display up to 100 swatches at a time.

Program just goes into hidden mode background and won't show in the Dock. Had to run activity monitor to find it and force quit. Wouldn't show up with regular force quit command.

I've tried a couple of color picker apps and Tangerine definitely seems the most flexible and useful in a multi-application environment! Very good. I can pick a color from a website and keep it in a palette for use in Fireworks, Illustrator, Photoshop, etc. It is very useful in this regards and even does CMYK, so print users or scarfing colors from CMYK graphics for use on in RGB is pretty seamless. There are a lot of methods, so there is a small learning curve, but they have videos online to help you.
Suggestions for improvements: docking or minimizing the palette would be a nice option when not in use, since the palette takes up a piece screen real estate.
2. I noticed that in Fireworks, e.g., I keep having to reselect Tangerine as my palette option in the color/swatch selector. That may be a limitation of Adobe's code, but just thought it would be nice if Tangerine could stay the default mode. However, in the applications I've tried, clicking on the Tangerine palette itself will load the color into the foreground color.
The only thing that made me hesitate as I was filling out the 'buy' form was the price at $40. I started looking around for coupons, discounts, and alternative apps. It is a high price for a one trick pony, even though it is very good at what it does. While I don't use CMYK very much, there are other html pickers that integrate into the color selector, ( and one even adds swatches to the bottom of the color selector and is free: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/23993 ), in the end, I decided that the future needs of CMYK may be the better choice. For a web developer professional, it was a borderline choice, considering it cost about 1/4 of the upgrade price for most of my major apps. I just am suggesting that a lower price might make for a wider market for the rest of solo web designers.
