I maintain that a serious software developer must have a working knowledge of sRGB values, knows the limitations of his uncalibrated screen, and just might actually keep his screen calibrated if he does much UI work.

I didn't say that the graphic artist didn't have better tools at his disposal, only that they might be out of reach at the moment. For example if he's writing a recommendation, e. g., in Outlook or Word, he might not want to fire up Photoshop just so he can use its color picker. Or, suppose that he's working at home on his personal laptop that doesn't have PS installed on it.

Sorry if I commented a bit/to much exaggerated. But this topic always leads to misunderstandings. All the best.

In case you are interesting in technical deep discussions concerning colorimetrics, I will be very happy and available. It Looks like I'm becoming more and more a Dinosaurier in this field, after the big chemicals gave up to investigate more in this field

Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass for now. I have too many other irons in the fire.

That's ok. Quote: Forge the iron while it is hot That I learned before about 50 years from my father... a black Smith and Art Smith

I wonder how many people know that black smiths exist today, though in far fewer numbers, than they did in the time of my great-grandfather.

That is precisely why I know there are still practicing blacksmiths. I have a female friend who had a brother (since deceased) who shod horses for a living, and made a very good living from it.

I met one at the Stuhr Museum in Nebraska. I was there for a BSA merit badge thing, and that place is so freaking cool!

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Was that for one of the Citizenship merit badges? As an Eagle, I earned all of them, and learned some interesting things for each of them.

I just noticed that I neglected to acknowledge your offer to discuss colorization in greater depth. For now, I'll pass; although the topic has some appeal, I have specific interests, such as, e. g., selecting a contrasting color from the color wheel.

I use ColorPix - https://colorpix.en.softonic.com/ -- no installer, very unobtrusive, and easy to use, though I would have to say it's only easy to use when you're not having to move the mouse to an exact pixel, even though there's a zoom mode.

Many moons ago (before .NET) I wrote one that I still use often...generates rgb and hex codes or translates between the two. Does anyone write their own tools these days?

I do. In my tool chest are dozens of tools that are of my own devising, because I either found nothing publicly available, or the available tools were deficient in some way. Once upon a time, I even published some of them, but nobody seemed to care about them, so most now remain private. A handful remain online in a small GitHub repository that I created as a reference/resource repository for use with the packages in my other repositories. Though they got into that kit because one or more build scripts requires them, many of these tools are generally useful command-line tools that are in some way better than the stock system tools they replace.

I do that too - a lot. Although, I haven't written a command-line tool in quite some time now. I wrote a little dialog-based app that I clone for most things now. Mostly because I have a drag-and-drop edit control that I use all the time and it makes the UI very easy to use.

Is this D&D edit control something around which I could create such a tool?

Probably. I found it at this site. There's a D&D combobox too which can be useful.
I made them work in 64-bit unicode mode also. If you don't want to deal with that then let me know and I will try to send them to you, somehow.

Interesting take on the sharing principle.
I've got several that I use at least once a week or more. The latest is an FTP client, because as you mention, I couldn't find one that did everything I wanted. Another would be a sql restore utility that can be started with a right-click of a .bak file. (this one saves me the most time per week) I've considered sharing but am reluctant due to company policy. I suppose it could be reasonably argued that these tools were mostly developed after hours and on weekends...as utility apps they don't directly contribute to company revenue. Explaining to the boss that you spent 4 hours on a cool little utility that might save you 10 minutes a day is a conversation I'd rather avoid. Instead, I can be super-productive, get the jobs done on time and have plenty of leisure time!

I might not want to work for your boss. Let's see, that's 10 minutes per day on tedium that would be better spent on new work, so you've recouped your investment in the first 24 days.

How you can improve your workflow using the JavaScript console is an excellent summary of the methods afforded by the Console class. Although the context of the article is the Web browser console, the information is equally applicable to the Node console. The examples made clear some methods that weren't entirely obvious without an example and its output to study.
