What Sets ColorPick Apart
ColorPick stands out from other
color pickers
due to its unique features and customizable options. It requires permission on all websites to ensure it is readily available whenever you need it. This permission is necessary to utilize the tabs API, and ColorPick does not abuse this permission.
If you encounter any bugs or issues while using ColorPick, it is recommended to use the feedback forum instead of writing a review. This allows the developer to address the problem more effectively.
Security and Snapshot Features
When using ColorPick, it's important to note that colors are picked from a snapshot of the page, which is updated when you scroll. To take a new snapshot, you can press "r" or use the re-snap button. In certain cases, if you recently changed tabs, you may encounter a snapshot error. This error is intentional and serves as a security feature. To resolve this, simply press "R" or scroll to refresh the snapshot or exit ColorPick and try again.
ColorPick also has some limitations in terms of compatibility. It does not work out of the box on the Chrome Web Store or on file:// pages. However, it can be used on local file pages after granting permission by navigating to the tools->extensions manager and allowing access to file URLs.
Troubleshooting and Unsupported Pages
If you experience any issues with ColorPick, try the following troubleshooting steps:
-
Try a new website in a different tab and see if it works there.
-
Try the same website in a new tab and see if that resolves the issue.
-
Reloading the extension or the tab may be necessary in some cases.
If you need to use ColorPick on unsupported pages, there are alternative options available. You can try the desktop app version for Mac and PC at color-pick.com. Additionally, if you need to select colors from screenshots, images, or photos, you can use the mobile app for iOS and Android by searching for "ColorPick" in the respective app stores. The mobile app also offers color-based mini-games for added fun and functionality.
Your Experience Matters
If you're looking for a quick and easy-to-use color eye dropper with a zoomed drag-able preview for fine-tuning, ColorPick is the perfect choice for you. While occasional bugs and issues may arise, it is encouraged to report them using the feedback button. Your feedback helps the developer identify and fix any bugs that can be resolved.
It's worth noting that some users have reported initial difficulties with ColorPick. In such cases, refreshing the page or reloading the extension may be required. Patience and persistence are key to ensuring a smooth experience. Keep in mind that your display's color space can also impact color accuracy, so ensure that it or Chrome is set to sRGB for optimal results.
ColorPick utilizes lossless PNG quality for color detection. However, if you encounter distortions or bugs with the snapshot feature, you can disable this feature and switch to JPEG quality.
For businesses utilizing ColorPick or the desktop app, it is recommended to purchase the appropriate license to support the developer and ensure compliance.

Needs premium for the simplest function in existence and shows ads.
This is a great extension. I use it almost daily for web development. Quick and easy to grab color code. Note for the developer. Please update this extension. I don't want to lose it. Message shown in my Google Chrome Extensions tab: "This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions." Thank you!
Has the best zoom tool that I've seen so far. Also, it's the only eyedropper that I've tried that stays open after I select a color, so I don't have to constantly be re-opening the tool each time. A simple click of the escape button closes it. It also has by far the most extensive options. Why not 5 stars? Because of the annoying ads and the fact that it may be unsupported soon due to not following best practices for extensions. I will definitely uninstall it when it becomes unsupported.
amzing 100% recommded
I have several extensions and none show ads like this one. Tried it, didn't like it and uninstalled it.
Was great before they started throwing annoying ads all over the screen. 0 stars :(
Works well
I use this extension daily. It works well on both Firefox and Chrome. It's simple to use. Great thing about it is the ability to quickly copy and paste HEXs.
Was my goto extension for literal years until the developer started injecting ads when the extension is used, not cool Sam.
CONFUSED - the developer says he has fixed the random advertising tab opening recently but the version of the extension has not been updated since June 2023. How can that be possible? Used to like the app but dont trust it now.
This is terrible. I was trying to color pick on a website and it didn't let me exit the color pick mode, it was very buggy and made me lose information on my current website whilst ads were flying across my screen.
Thank you very much
Wayyyy to many ads
very useful!
Have been using it for years. It works perfectly! No Ads.
It works as advertised. You can pick on anything on the current website and get the color in your preferred format: RGB, HEX, or HSL. The only thing I whish this extension had is the HSB format, or any other formats such as OKLAB, and OKLCH.
It's adware.
Doesnt work. keeps throwing ads
good,good
Omg, you are actually genius, it works even after darkreader extension, windows contrast mode (lack of blue color), windows night light and DisplayFusion - monitor fading function. The number one color picker that i have ever seen, colormania and eyedrop color picker programs and another extensions in the chrome store is useless after screen color manipulations, but this program is awesome and also lightweight, thank you?
Works fine but adds popup adds constantly. Terrible.
