- [Magic color](#magic-color): show colors from the clipboard;
- [Random](#random): show a random color;

## Pin
With Pin, you can bring Colorpicker to the foreground. This makes it convenient to work quickly with different
applications at the same time.
---
## Picker
The Picker allows you to quickly retrieve a color anywhere on the screen. Whether it's on your browser, Photoshop, or
whatever.
---
## Colorsbook
Colorsbook is a full-fledged application. It allows you to store your colors, categorize them, and easily retrieve them.
It is destined to mature over time.
**Cool tip:** you can save color from colorpicker with `CMD+S` or `CTRL+S`!
---
## Shading
With the shades, you can find the perfect color you need. You have a chromatic bar, a natural color bar and a shadow
bar.
---
## Focus Mode
Need to compare a color or clean up the interface? This feature is for you, this will hide the sliders and make the menu
more transparent.
---
## Magic Color [WIP]
This functionality is still under development. Currently, it allows you to display the first color that is in your
clipboard. This works with hexadecimal and RGB codes
---
## Random
A traditional feature, it allows you to display a color randomly.

## Settings
The settings menu allows you to customize your Colorpicker, I let you discover it yourself :)!
