Colordrop: Interactive Drag & Drop Coloring Extension

Drag a color from the color palette(Material Design specific) to a website and color designated areas of it (like sections or texts). One can drag a color from the color palette and drop it on any area that lights up with a blue outline, including text elements.

Once the droplet that you are dragging gets dropped on a content area, a fun little Google Material like animation happens and the whole area gets filled with a colored circle.
