I discovered this little gem recently. As the title says. It's been around for
a while. So I searched the forum, but I think this little utility has never
been discussed here before.
grabc is a CLI program, so you have to run it from console. From the
developer's site:
gcolor2 and mtpaint have something similar, but these apps occupy more$ grabc
(mouse ponter turns into a cross hair and you click on something)
#b2c0dd
178,192,221
space on screen, and it's not as easy if you want the color underneath
those apps.
grabc is handy for developers, but also for any user just curious about the
definition of the colors on their screen.
The source of grabc is here:

Debian has it ready to install, here for Stretch:
https://packages.debian.org/search?keyw ... ection=all
and here for Wheezy:
https://packages.debian.org/search?suit ... ords=grabc
For Slacko and slackware generally, I don't have any URLs, sorry.

So you have the "hex" color of a pixel -- or you've collected a few colors
from your screen. Now what?
Well, you may want to harmonize colors between your background and
your GTK theme.
For starters, it may help to know their name, so for a rather complete
listing of hex colors and color names, please go here:

Then, if, like me, you're a bit of a dummy when it comes to color combos
and designs, and you're always wondering what color goes with what, this
site may help you out:

This may help you create a design color ensemble.
Finally, if you're looking for a GTK2 theme to match your color design
idea, don't forget to browse through the offerings at gnome-look:
https://www.gnome-look.org/browse/cat/136
AND
at deviant art's gtk2 section:

I hope someone finds the above info helpful.
