ColorPicker provides an intuitive graphical interface to display the hexadecimal code of the color selected by the user. The RGB value is passed to a JavaScript variable which could then be used to modify your web page dynamically or as form inputs. You could also change the color using JavaScript as shown in the example.
ColorPicker is available in 2 versions: the Freeware Edition and Professional Edition. The Freeware Edition is free for non-commercial use. It contains copyright messages on the applet and the status bar. These messages are absent in the Professional Edition. In addition, the Professional Edition gives you the right to use it on an unlimited number of web sites and integrate with your software or web products for distribution. Full details can be found at the online order page.

The various parameters of the applet also allow you to specify a lower and upper bound for the colour values (so that they will always remain within a certain range) and to specify a seed for the random number generator. By giving the same seed (and start colour) to two or more bars, you can ensure that they remain synchronized. The two lower bars on this page are synchronized.

This Java applet lets you choose colors and fonts for your applications. The values of the colors you get, can be used in many programming languages (not only in Java). It will be very helpful for developers and programmers as you can easily try out various combinations of background and foreground (color of the text) colors. You can also try out different fonts in this applet.
To set the foreground color, select the Foreground option. Next, you click the color buttons at the top for common colors (or "R" button to generate random colors). The color of the text will change accordingly. For finer shades you can use the scrollbars to adjust red, green and blue values.
For setting background color follow the same procedure.
Once you are satisfied, get the respective RGB values from the text fields. These values you can pass in the java.awt.Color constructor to get the desired effect for your applications.
For use in html pages you get hex values too. You can also use this applet to convert RGB values to hex and hex values to RGB values.
To try out fonts, just choose different options like font name, size, and style. As soon as you make these choices, the font of the text in the applet will change reflecting your choices.
