Hex Color Picker

Hex Color Picker — the fast, beautiful way to grab any color from your screen Hex Color Picker is a lightweight, privacy-friendly Chrome extension that lets you capture the exact color of any pixel on any web page — or anywhere on your screen — in a single click. Whether you're a web designer matching a brand palette, a developer copying a CSS value, a digital artist collecting inspiration, or simply curious what shade that button is, Hex Color Picker gives you the answer instantly, in the format you need. This release is a ground-up overhaul. We rebuilt the entire popup around a modern, intuitive color workspace and fixed dozens of long-standing bugs, making the extension faster, more reliable, and more pleasant to use than ever before. POWERFUL, BEAUTIFULLY SIMPLE FEATURES • Screen eyedropper — Click "Pick color from page" and grab any pixel with pixel-perfect accuracy. On modern Chrome we use the native eyedropper, so you can sample colors from anywhere on your screen, including images, videos, and even other applications. • Built-in color picker — Fine-tune any color with a smooth saturation and brightness square plus a hue slider. Dial in exactly the shade you want without ever leaving the popup. • Instant format switching — View and copy every color as HEX, RGB, or HSL with a single tap. No more manual conversions or guesswork. • One-click copy — Send the current color to your clipboard instantly. Prefer values without the "#" symbol? Turn it off in settings. • Recent history — Every color you pick is saved automatically, most recent first, so you can revisit and reuse colors in seconds. • Saved palette — Star the colors you love to build a personal, synced palette. Add and remove swatches with a click; your palette follows you across devices. • Light and dark themes — A clean, distraction-free interface that adapts to your taste and remembers your choice. • Everything in one place — Picker, formats, history, saved colors, and settings all live in a single, tidy popup — no extra tabs, no clutter. HANDY KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS • Alt + P — Start picking a color from the page • Esc — Cancel picking • U — Refresh the on-page colors while picking BUILT FOR REAL WORKFLOWS Designers use Hex Color Picker to reverse-engineer color schemes and keep brand colors consistent. Front-end developers grab CSS-ready HEX and RGB values without opening dev tools. Content creators and marketers match colors across graphics and campaigns. Illustrators and photographers pull shades straight from reference images. It is the quiet, dependable utility you will reach for every single day. WHAT WE FIXED AND IMPROVED IN THIS RELEASE We put serious work into reliability. Highlights include: • Settings actually work again — The options screen was previously broken and could not save your preferences. It is fully functional now, and your settings live right inside the popup for quick access. • Reliable auto-copy — Automatically copying a picked color used to fail, and could even stop colors from being saved to your history. Copying is now fast and dependable. • Text everywhere — Interface labels that were showing up blank have been restored, with support for 40 languages. • Rock-solid picking — Picking no longer breaks after the extension has been idle, no longer targets the wrong window when you have several open, and no longer crashes on fast clicks or unusual pages. • Safer and cleaner — We hardened color and palette handling, added proper error handling so your history is never silently lost, removed obsolete code, and updated the extension to meet current Chrome standards. • A brand-new look — The popup has been completely redesigned with a modern color picker, recent and saved palettes, in-popup settings, light and dark themes, and friendly on-screen confirmations for every action. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Hex Color Picker works entirely on your device. It does not track you, it does not send your colors anywhere, and it asks only for the minimal permissions needed to capture a pixel and store your palettes. Your color history and saved palettes sync through your own Chrome account, so they are available wherever you sign in — and nowhere else. LIGHTWEIGHT AND FAST No bloat, no ads interrupting your work, and no account required. The extension stays out of your way until you need it, then delivers the color you want in a single click. It loads instantly and feels effortless. Whether you are building a website, designing a logo, tweaking a theme, or simply satisfying your curiosity, Hex Color Picker is the color companion that makes capturing, converting, and organizing colors effortless.
