I'm using Eclipse Galileo PDT for my work. I also use it to edit my CSS files.

Is there a plugin that lets me pick a color (from a palette or even anywhere from the screen) and wich returns the HEX value of that color into my CSS file?

This is nice, BUT: It does not integrate with the editor window, wich really is a pity. When I'm typing in the editor and want to change a color, then I must search the CSS rule in the CSS Designer window to change the attribute. It would be much more intuitive if the cirrently "selected" rule in the editor is highlighted in the Designer window.

I would recommend to use external software: http://www.colorschemer.com/online.html You can integrate it into Eclipse.

How can I integrate it?

There is a "Run" submenu in Eclipse you can customize. But, probably, CSS Designer http://eclipse-plugins.2y.net/eclipse/plugin%5Fdetails.jsp?id=1419 recommended by Rich Seller will suit you better.

The point is, CSS Designer does not suite me better as commented above. I'll have a look at the "run" menu. Whereas my wish is a context menu ...

I have used this plugin called colors in both Galymeade and I just dropped into Galileo. http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com/Web%5FLinks-index-req-viewlink-cid-1281.html you can copy the color code to/from clipboard or editor. Slider bar for coloring, color picker etc. I used it to edit css files on a recent project. Good Luck.

Visual Studio 2010 has a pretty cool one called devColor. It integrates right into the editor and previews the color. Someone could write something like that for Eclipse.
