I can't tell if you are looking for recommendations or just what else is
out there.

gcolor3?   https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/gcolor3  It looks like the
latest release is 2.4.0, and has been renamed to "Color Picker"  I
haven't tried, but it doesn't look like an ebuild would be too hard to
create.

media-libs/kcolorpicker already in portage. (appears not a KDE app,
which I would have guessed from the name)

I just need something to replace gcolor2.

Not in portage (I don't have ebuild-making skills).

I already had emerged that one. It is a library, no executable
included. No idea what packages use it. The kde package is, I suppose, kde-apps/kcolorchooser, but it would pull a bunch of dependencies. I
assume it would be fine if I were a kde user (I was long time ago,
before kde4!)

thanks

It's masked i portage and dead upstream, but that doesn't necessarily
mean it is no longer usable. If it still does what you want, copy the
ebuild to your overlay and unmask it by adding it to /etc/portage/profile/package.unmask.

It is on its way out, but there are still some packages blocking its
removal: <https://bugs.gentoo.org/768993>. I can't say for sure, but I
guess GTK+ 2 will stay at least another few months.

Just what I thought.

(I suppose someone will make an ebuild for gcolor3 sooner or later...)

I just packaged it for ::guru. 😊 It should become available in the
next days. If you can't wait, you can grab it from here: <https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/proj/guru.git/tree/gui-apps/gcolor3?h=dev>.

OK, that's good news. And I can wait :)

Thanks

Will try that. But the masking message says "Dead package upstream.
