🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

grabc is a simple but very useful program — like, lowkey a tiny legend — that figures out the color string in hex (or in RGB components, if that's your vibe) when you click on a pixel on the screen. 🖱️✨

So picture this: you're web browsing, and you keep finding a nice color and you're like "what color IS that??" 😭 Well. just use grabc! that's it, that's the whole solution.

When this program is run, the mouse pointer is grabbed and changed to a cross hair, and when the mouse is clicked, the color of the clicked pixel is written to stdout in hex, prefixed with #. 🎨 periodt.
