Looking for a Linux Alternative to PowerToys Color Picker

Hey everyone! I'm currently using CachyOS and I really miss the Color Picker feature from PowerToys on Windows. I'm searching for a decent alternative on Linux. I tried using Gpick, but unfortunately, it didn't work well for me. KColorChooser is another option I checked out, but it doesn't come with that handy magnifying glass feature that PowerToys has. Any recommendations?

Have you looked into Gcolor3? You can find it on Flathub, and it might have the functionality youโ€™re after. Hereโ€™s the link: https://flathub.org/tr/apps/nl.hjdskes.gcolor3. Just make sure to test it out, and see if it fits your needs!
