Colorpeek Extension

Colorpeek is a tiny web app for quickly seeing and sharing CSS colors. The extension can parse colors from three different sources:

1. Text selections (hex values you received in an email, for example)
2. Prominent colors in an image
3. CSS colors used on a webpage

Great for designers, developers, or anyone tired of spelunking through web inspectors, opening up Photoshop or hunting and pecking with an eyedropper just to grab color values.

Additional features:

- Customize the output of webpage palettes (hide/show black, white, grays or semi-transparent colors)
- Change the amount of colors returned for images
- Use from the toolbar or right-click menu

(ID: ) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/12/2016 What a fantastic extension. How come I didn't know about this earlier? I'm a web developer and I can't tell you how many times I've looked through code to find a particular hex color. This is absolutely an amazing timesaver.

Bryan Willis (ID: 00000033ceb342ce) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/11/2015 Pretty solid. Would be cool to have a few more features. Like a selector tool to be able to see which color comes from what elements. For example, when a website shows 20 different blues, it's not especially helpful when you're just trying to figure out which one is the primary blue being used.

Tracy Trathen (ID: 00000039655fe27b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/13/2014 Brilliant tool. Definitely adding to my "favorite" arsenal of web design/development tools!
