Colorway: Eyedropper & Color Picker Tool Extension

Chroma is now Colorway! With the new name, we have a new extension icon and all of the same great features (with many more on the way).

Colorway is a free, private, user-friendly color tool that allows you to easily sample colors from your screen while browsing the web.

Colorway includes a variety of features to help you work with colors. What's inside:

✺ Eyedropper
✺ Color picker
✺ Style guide generator
✺ Palette builder
✺ HEX/RGB/HSL values on demand
✺ Random color palette generator
✺ Color history
✺ Tints and shades for any color
✺ Light and dark color theme options

To use Colorway, simply open the extension and hover over the screen with the eyedropper tool to select the color you want to sample. The HEX value of that color will be automatically copied to your clipboard.

You can also create a palette based on a range of colors from the page, and generate a unique URL for bookmarking or sharing the palette.

Colorway was created with designers and developers in mind, but is easy enough for anyone to use. It requires no registration or setup, and is completely private. Simply click the extension button and start working with color. 🎨

Note about privacy: Our extension collects no user data. Unlike other eyedropper extensions that can see your pixel data, we utilize the browser's built in Eyedropper API (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EyeDropper_API), which protects against user pixel data from being maliciously used. Rest assured, we care about your privacy, and don't find you all that interesting!

Note about browser support: We've done our utmost to restrict the extension to supported browsers, which is primarily going to be recent versions of Chrome, Edge, and Brave. If you've managed to install the extension on an unsupported browser, it should be expected that the extension will not work as intended. Kindly rule out this possibility before submitting bug reports or reviews.

Want to open Colorway with a keyboard shortcut? Go to chrome://extensions/shortcuts and set your own.

By installing the extension, you agree to Colorway’s Privacy Policy (https://colorway.app/privacy) and Terms of Use (https://colorway.app/terms).

Stephen Vaughan (ID: 000000cbcdd780b2) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 12/10/2023 Would be great if all the colour tints and shades could be shown as HSLA. Only the main colour in a pallete has HSL. And, with a full complement of tints and shades an option to have them exported as css variables. I know, a very tall order.
