What does this tool set out to accomplish?
The color picker is a program aimed at web designers and software developers. It attempts to display a reasonable range of colors, "web safe colors" in a logical way. Latter version might include all colors.

A few things which this project will attempt to accomplish besides having a nice GUI:

1. To make a simple but powerful color selection tool for web designers who don't use WYSIWYGs. (Or any one that might need RGB or Hex color values.)

2. Create code that is easy to port and incorporate into other open source projects. (Even if GUIs are platform dependent and most of the program will be a GUI, the code will attempt to create a set of functions and classes allowing for fast creation of a similar tool on other platforms.)

3. To make a customizable tool. (Allowing the user to load up their own color scheme and eventually have pre-made color arrangements which can be customized.)

4. To make a tool, which requires no installation and no configuration, files (by default). (Simply download and use)

This project is being written in C++. The original OS is W98. When time permits testing will be done on as many versions of Windows as possible. Any other platform will be supported, if somebody kind enough to do the port comes around. MFC will be used to make the GUI.
