Extension summary

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

Very interesting features.

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.

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.
