User reviews
AKColor is widely praised for its accuracy, ease of use, responsiveness, and useful features like color name approximation. Users find it to be the best free Chrome color picker tool that enhances color matching tasks significantly. However, several users mention the need for keyboard shortcuts and improved usability, specifically the ability to exit the eyedropper tool with the Escape key and avoid unreadable UI colors caused by default settings.
Pros
- Very accurate and intuitive color picker tool.
- Allows selecting colors directly from any webpage efficiently.
- Free and highly responsive with a clean, aesthetic interface.
- Provides additional features like 3D color viewer and English color name approximations.
- Highly appreciated by users for its ease of use and effectiveness.
Cons
- Lack of keyboard shortcuts for quick actions like 'pick again' or 'close' when using eye-dropper.
- No escape key functionality to exit the eyedropper mode, leading to some usability issues.
- Default UI color set from picked color may result in unreadable interface colors (e.g., black text on black background)
