Great effort and reason to create this! I'm accustomed to using the Magic Wand tool in Paint.net[1] and Pinta[2] to select pixels based on color. Any chance you could add that functionality? [1] https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/MagicWand.html [2] https://www.pinta-project.com/user-guide/wand/

The name of this project brought many memories of the HP 48G to the forefront of my mind, after so many years. Its 1 bpp pixelated icons and drawings were indeed called GROBs - there are collections of these online. What a coincidental but fine name for a pixel-capable graphics editor.
