hyprpicker is a minimal color picker for Wayland compositors using wlroots, particularly designed for Hyprland. It allows users to select any pixel on screen and get its color value in various formats.
When launched, the cursor changes to a crosshair. Clicking anywhere on screen captures the color at that pixel and outputs it in the specified format. The tool integrates with wl-copy for clipboard support.

-f, --format FORMAT

Output format: hex, rgb, hsl, hsv, or cmyk

Automatically copy picked color to clipboard

Disable colored output, print plain text only

Requires a Wayland session with a wlroots-based compositor. For autocopy functionality, wl-copy must be installed. Does not work under X11 or non-wlroots Wayland compositors.

hyprpicker is part of the Hyprland ecosystem, created by Vaxry alongside the Hyprland compositor. Hyprland gained popularity starting in 2022 as a highly customizable dynamic tiling Wayland compositor.
