*find the ‘color value’ of any ‘color’ on your ‘screen’*
.
.
In the Digital Color Meter app on your Mac, do any of the following:
Find the value of a color:
Move the pointer over the pixels whose values you want to see.
The color under the pointer is displayed in the Digital Color Meter window, with its color values on the right.
To change the format of the displayed color values for RGB-based color spaces, choose View > Display Values.
.
Adjust the size of the aperture:
Drag the Aperture Size slider.
Make the aperture smaller to select a small area or a single pixel.
If more than one pixel is within the aperture, the color values of all pixels are averaged
.
Choose a different color space: Click the pop-up menu, then choose a color space. The values shown are specific to the color space you choose.
Lock the aperture’s location: Do one of the following:
Lock the aperture horizontally: Press Command-X.
Lock the aperture vertically: Press Command-Y.
Lock the aperture in both directions: Press Command-L.
Locking the aperture makes it easier to copy the pixel’s color value. When the aperture is locked both horizontally and vertically, it doesn’t move as you move the pointer.
Copy the color value: Do one of the following:
Copy the color value as text: Choose Color > Copy Color as Text, or press Shift-Command-C.
Copy the color value as an image: Choose Color > Copy Color as Image, or press Option-Command-C.

*’Digital Color Meter’ is a ‘utility’ for measuring/displaying the ‘color values’ of ‘pixels’ displayed on the screen of a ‘macintosh computer’*
.
The utility presents a “window” onto the screen which includes a cursor which by default is 1 × 1 pixel in size.
The color displayed in that pixel is shown as a color value which may be represented as decimal or hexadecimal RGB triplets, CIE 1931, CIE 1976 or CIELAB triplets or a Tristimulus triplet.
The displayed color could be copied either as a solid color or as the color value which represents it, to be used in other applications
(for instance an RGB triplet may be used in a color specification to be used on a World Wide Web page)
