Windows 11 now has its own built-in color picker tool

Windows 11 introduces a built-in color picker within the Snipping Tool that offers more functionality than PowerToys but is slightly harder to access with its Win + Shift + S shortcut. It supports HEX, RGB, and HSL modes and allows users to copy code values directly to their clipboard for use in other apps—though PowerToys' simpler Win + Shift + C shortcut remains a quicker option. Despite the minor inconvenience, this feature proves incredibly handy for tasks ranging from graphic design to everyday color selection.
