The Color Changer Chrome extension lets you personalize the colors of any webpage by adjusting text, background, and link hues to your preference. Enhance readability on sites with poor default color choices without the hassle of global themes. Simply select the color elements, pick your desired shade from an interactive color wheel, and see your changes live. The extension remembers your customizations per site, saving you time for future visits. It offers convenient access through toolbar buttons and a right-click context menu. A reset option is available to restore defaults whenever needed. Note, it works best on select sites and complements other tools like Stylish for more complex theming needs. Color saturation varies naturally via the intuitive color wheel, featuring options from gray to vivid colors.

User reviews

Users appreciate Color Changer for effectively customizing webpage colors, ease of use, and aiding eye comfort. However, common critiques include its uniform application of color settings across all sites without per-site customization, occasional failures resulting in blank pages, and a lack of advanced controls like precise RGB input and saving presets. Some users also noted compatibility concerns and wish for support on other browsers like Edge. Despite these, it's viewed as a leading tool for its purpose.
Pros
  • Effective at changing page background and text colors, helping users customize page appearance.
  • Simple to install and use with an easy-to-access color wheel dialog.
  • Helpful for users with sensitive eyes or those seeking better page styling.
  • Supports changing multiple elements like text, background, and links.
  • Generally praised as the best available option for this functionality.
Cons
  • Limited customization per individual webpage; color settings apply globally across all pages.
  • Some users experienced issues where color changes did not reflect properly on the webpage, resulting in blank or grey pages.
  • Lack of advanced features like inputting exact RGB values or saving color presets for reuse.
  • Occasional compatibility issues or extension conflicts preventing proper functionality.
  • No support for Edge browser users, limiting accessibility.
