About Color Picker: Eyedropper & Palettes
Color picker, eyedropper tool & hex/RGB/HSL converter. Pick any on-screen color
Color Picker grabs any color on your screen and hands it back as
hex, RGB, and HSL. It is built for designers, frontend devs, and
anyone who needs the exact color of something they're looking at,
right now.
NO PAGE ACCESS, BY DESIGN
Most color pickers work by injecting a script into every page you
visit so they can read pixels off it. This one doesn't. A single
click in the popup launches the browser's own native eyedropper
tool right there. It samples whatever is under your cursor
directly, anywhere on screen, without ever asking to see the
content of a page. (On the handful of setups where the browser
closes the popup as the eyedropper opens, that pick simply doesn't
go through. The extension notices the pattern and automatically
switches your next pick on that device to the same native picker
running in a small window of its own, which isn't affected by the
same issue.) There's nothing to inject and nothing to grant: the
manifest requests a single permission (local storage for your history
and palettes) and nothing else. This extension collects no data of
any kind: no analytics, no tracking, no telemetry. The only
network traffic it ever makes is a purchase-verification check with
ExtensionPay if you choose to upgrade.
FREE, AND GENUINELY USEFUL
- One-click native eyedropper pick, from any open tab.
- Hex, RGB(A), and HSL(A) shown together the moment you pick, each
with its own copy button. Choose uppercase or lowercase hex.
- History: your last 30 picks, saved locally. Click any one to
reload it, or clear the list.
- Manual input: paste or type any CSS color and see it converted
into every format instantly. Hex, rgb(), hsl(), and named colors
like "rebeccapurple" all work.
- Shade strip: a 9-step lighten-to-darken ramp for whatever color
is loaded, every step clickable and copyable on its own.
- Your hex case, default copy format, and theme are remembered
between sessions.
PREMIUM ($5 one-time)
For building and shipping an actual color system:
- Named palettes: organize picks into palettes you create, rename,
reorder, and delete, saved locally.
- Export a palette as CSS custom properties, SCSS variables, or
JSON. Paste straight into a codebase.
- WCAG contrast checker: pick or enter a foreground and background
color and get the exact contrast ratio plus AA/AAA pass-fail for
normal and large text.
No subscription, no account: pay once, keep the features.
Single-click in-popup picking and converting for free, palette
organizing on the premium upgrade (with an automatic small-window
fallback for reliability), without ever needing to see what's on the
page you're looking at.
