Dropped Colour Proximity to an Arbitrary Colour

[Presently42]

I should like to propose a proposal: I'd like to have the ability to see how close to an arbitrary colour the colour which is dropped is.

To wit: I use the colour dropper. It gives me the HEX of a certain colour. In (perhaps the colour book?) another tab are saved colours. Colorpicker then indicates the closest of these pre-saved colours to the one currently in the dropper: perhaps the colour is 90 % Blue 150, for example - or 86 % Pink 175 - and so on.

You can use the color difference based on RGB color space or Delta E methods, and then find the nearest color based on the list of colors.

I seem to've found that exact option between the time of writing and now, as I've used this function many times indeed. That being said, I don't see an option to use Delta E; nor to specify which variant.

Thank you for the update! I will try to implement this when possible

Colorpicker 2.2.2 has some issue with them such as on mac os Sequio it does not get the color of for example on desktop if you go through picking a file color with you cant get it,and everytime you click dropper it pops up open setting
