Image color picker questions

What is the difference between Live color and Selected color?
Live color changes as you inspect the image. Selected color is the one rendered pixel you lock by clicking or pressing Enter or Space, and its values remain available to copy.
Does the color picker include transparency?
Yes. When a pixel is not fully opaque, the copied HEX, RGB, HSL and HSV values include its alpha channel.
Can it create a color palette automatically?
No. The tool reads one rendered pixel at a time and does not generate an automatic palette from the image.
