Color PickUp

Color PickUp

Color PickUp is a minimalist color picker extension and web tool designed to help you inspect, convert, and organize color palettes from a clean, responsive popup.

The interface is divided into three key functional areas:

Divided into two streamlined groups to keep your workspace uncluttered:

• Left Controls: Includes the Clear History button to wipe your custom palette, the Color Picker shortcut, the Eye Dropper tool, and a dynamic Tile Size field to scale the size of color tiles (from 8px to 128px) dynamically across the entire application.
• Right Tools: Houses the Reload UI utility, the Theme Toggle (for seamless Light/Dark mode transitions), and standard links to Support and Donation pages (hidden automatically when run as a standalone web application).

Consists of an adaptive dual-column layout:

• Color Preview Block (Left): Displays a large preview of your active color. Clicking this area triggers your operating system or browser's native color picker. (Please note: the visual style of the native color picker varies depending on your platform and operating system).
• Conversion Panel (Right): Displays the selected color automatically converted into six standard formats: HEX, HSB, RGB, HSL, HWB, and CMYK. Clicking any field copies the formatted code to your clipboard instantly while showing a subtle popup alert.

Located at the bottom of the interface, this area features collapsible, grid-based accordions containing several predefined palettes (Artistic, Favorite, UI Design, Material, Safe, etc.).

• Clicking any color tile automatically updates the main workspace, showing a checkmark (✓) on the active tile to indicate your current selection.
• The User defined section at the top of the list acts as your historical log. Your custom picks are saved automatically and can be cleared at any time using the Clear History button in the top control bar.

Note on the Eye Dropper Feature: The Eye Dropper allows you to inspect and capture colors from anywhere on your desktop screen, including areas outside of your browser window. This utilizes the modern browser EyeDropper API; on unsupported environments or mobile devices, the extension will gracefully notify you and prompt you to use the standard color picker block.

You can install this application as a Progressive Web App (PWA) on your mobile device, run it as a standalone web application, or deploy it as a browser extension on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and other Chromium-based browsers.
