xroma(1)

NAME
xroma - retrieve and display color information of a pixel on the screen

SYNOPSIS
xroma [-h | --help] [--hex] [--hsv] [-c X,Y]

DESCRIPTION
xroma is a command-line tool for interacting with the X Window System to retrieve and display the color information of a pixel on the screen. By default it reads the color information for the pixel that is under the mouse cursor, but you can also specify the coordinates of an arbitrary pixel. The output is provided by default in a set of RGB values (range 0-255), but you can also get it in hexadecimal format and even in HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) format. The name xroma comes from the greek word chroma, which means color. The "ch" part is actually written with an X in greek, which is not pronounced like an english X, but rather somewhat like the "ch" sound in chroma.
