(I am changing my review from the previous version which did not work for me.)

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.
