There is a great range of useful options in how this information is displayed and the option to display the info in a window which floats above all application windows.
Human perception of color is inconsistent and varies greatly depending on many factors, making the information this application essential for efficient workflow.
Coloristic's value comes from the time it saves in creating informed decisions, and accurate color corrections.
I spent a lot of time looking at more than 20 other color utilities before I came upon this, hope this review saves you some time.
I am running this on a Mac using the latest version of Snow Leopard 10.6.2, loads easy functions as advertised.
As a professional photographer I appreciate all the effort put into developing this application. Please support those provide software you find useful.

The Icon could benefit form more subtile colors (how about transparency or little color gradients) because icons with primary (and secondary) colors look very plump (as they did in windows 3.1).
As there seems to be a Mac and PC version and because of the preferences dialouge and the toolbar thing, I conceive, that this is done with Metrowerks Codewarrior. As there is no future version of CW and the future Intel based Macs couldn't be supported with CW, I wonder if this tool has a future, if someone pays the 12 bucks today.
The most thing, I wonder about is the 12 bucks itself. I'm always glad to pay for a tool that helps me in doing my work, but Mac OS X delivers the DigitalColor Meter (Applications>Utilities) since (at least) version 10.1 and it does nearly the same for “free”.
So paying $12 to see CMYK values and to measure some horizontal and vertical pixels (not even the diagonal) is clearly too much.
