To find out what colour a button on a web page or mockup really is, opening an image editor just to sample it is a hassle. Instant Eyedropper sits in the system tray; click once and the colour value of any pixel on screen is yours.
It dates from the 2000s and has been around for nearly 20 years; the official site now offers Windows and Linux versions, free to use.
Tray resident: Just a small tray icon with no window; open its menu to start picking.

Common colour formats: Supports the usual colour code formats, ready to paste into CSS or a design tool.
