What Color Picker Does

Built with precision to solve real problems without adding complexity.

Native Browser Eyedropper

Uses the built-in EyeDropper API. Works on any page, even localhost and dev servers that break older pickers.

Local Palette of 50

Picks stack at the top of the palette. Most recent first. Click any swatch to copy its hex.

Copy as CSS Variables

One click. Outputs a clean :root block with numbered color variables. Paste straight into your stylesheet.

Copy as JSON

One click. Outputs a flat token map for design systems or scripts.

No Accounts, No Cloud

Everything stays in chrome.storage.local. Zero network calls.

Reversible Removal

A small remove icon on each swatch deletes it. No confirmation wall.

Perfect For
