Very convenient to be able to select any color from my screen easily with the Chrome plugin. I use this all the time for work projects. I like that I can just click on a color and copy/paste the hex code, and that it keeps a history of all the colors I've done this for in recent times.
Solid and works well! Great for when I want to draw a certain character and can't find a colour that looks right on them.
Works very well. Have been using it for years! Thank you, so easy to use!
i am a teacher very useful for my classroom
Questions
How do I pick a colour from a website in Chrome?
Install the free AutoColorPicker extension, click its toolbar icon, choose Pick a color and click any pixel on the page. The HEX code is copied to your clipboard, and the panel also shows RGB and HSL.
Is AutoColorPicker free?
Yes. The colour picker, Inspect, history, the picker and palette tools are free and need no account. Pro costs $2 a month or $18 a year and adds sync with the phone app, brand kits, token export, boards and teams.
Which colour formats does it copy?
HEX, RGB and HSL by default, plus CMYK, which you can turn on in the extension's settings.
Can it show every colour and font used on a page?
Yes. Analyze page lists the colours a page uses, grouped by backgrounds, text, borders and links, with contrast checks. Inspect shows the colours, fonts, radii and shadows inside any element you point at.
Does the extension collect my browsing history?
No. Picked colours and history stay in your browser. If you sign in, what you save is stored, plus a short activity log with the website domain of each pick, which you can clear from your dashboard and which is deleted after 90 days.
Is there a phone app?
It's coming soon. PaintPeek for Android, which picks colours from your camera and photos and syncs with the extension when you sign in with the same account, is about to launch, and the iPhone app follows.
Free on the Chrome Web Store
Install it, open any page, and the dropper is one click away.
