If you feel the need to alert the developer about a bug use the feedback forum instead of writing a review.
ColorPick needs permission on all websites so that it is at the ready when you need it. In order to use the tabs API this permission is required. Color pick does not abuse this permission and is highly configurable. You can always review the source code yourself, which is available online here https://github.com/qufighter/ColorPick PRs welcome!
Please note that colors are picked from a snapshot of the page that is updated only when you scroll. To take a new snapshot press r or use the re-snap button. Sometimes if you just changed tabs, you may see a snapshot error - this is an intentional security feature. Press R or scroll to correct this, or exit color pick and try again.
As with most extensions of this nature, it will not work out of the box on the web store, or on file:// pages. It will work on local file pages only after you "Allow access to file URLs" from the tools->extensions manager.
If you experience an issue, try the following:
- Try a new website in a different tab and see if it works there
- Try the same website in a new tab and see if that works
- Reloading the extension or tab may sometimes be needed
If you need to operate on unsupported pages try the desktop app version (mac+pc) at color-pick.com or if you are selecting colors from screenshots, images or photos try the mobile phone/tablet app for IOS and Android - search the store for "ColorPick" (which also includes color based mini games).
If you're looking for a quick and easy to use color eye dropper with zoomed drag-able preview for fine tuning you've come to the right place. If you experience any bugs PLEASE report them using the feedback button, I want to fix them if they can be fixed.
It has been reported that it may take a few tries before it starts working initially. You may have to refresh the page or re-load the extension. I have personally experienced bugs where mousemove event does not fire, etc, but then when I switch out of chrome and back, it starts working. There is little that can be done to fix this except be patient and try again.
Keep in mind that your display's color space matters - if it or chrome is not set to sRGB (and restarted chrome) then some colors set to one value will pick as a different value (as if from a screenshot, which in some cases can have a similar effect).
Color Pick attempts to use lossless PNG quality to detect colors. If you experience bugs or distorted snapshot of the page disable this feature to use JPEG quality.
If your business is using this extension or the desktop app than you should urge them to purchase the appropriate license.
Thank You,
Sam

Latest reviews
- (2024-04-29) Ashlia Toles: I have had this extension since 2018 and it is perfect. I do not know why all the reviews are saying there are ads because I have never encountered an ad from this extension.
- (2023-11-10) Rafail R: Doesnt work. keeps throwing ads

- (2023-10-07) Hari Maredipudi: Mazze le rahe hai, Very innacurate!
- (2023-10-01) Arnold Seaman: Omg, you are actually genius, it works even after darkreader extension, windows contrast mode (lack of blue color), windows night light and DisplayFusion - monitor fading function. The number one color picker that i have ever seen, colormania and eyedrop color picker programs and another extensions in the chrome store is useless after screen color manipulations, but this program is awesome and also lightweight, thank you🤞
- (2023-09-26) Andrew LaPointe: Works fine but adds popup adds constantly. Terrible.

- (2023-06-02) Chris Brown: This extension is great if you want one thing that all decent colour pickers are missing - ads plastered over any page you use it on. They really did nail exactly what a customer could want out of a basic colour picker tool.
- (2023-05-25) Digvijay Singh: best extention so far initially i struggled due to not knowing how to pick color from local image and instruction were not clear either just giving it 4 star for that reason only

- (2022-10-19) Laura Austria: It's weird because the one on my other account works so smoothly. Meanwhile I can't get the one on this account to work without "Snap mode" (where it opens a snapshot in a different tab and you pick the color there). It doesn't matter too much though, it's just one extra click for an otherwise very easy-to-use extension.
- (2022-09-25) jeet singh: Meets my requirements. Thanks!

- (2022-05-05) Pieter Willaert: Used to be great, now useless unless you but it, they restriced old functionality real bad.
- (2022-02-12) No Name: Color picker worked on one tab, but made another tab with a click-and-drag GUI malfunction. I did not open the extension on this other tab, but it still made the crosshairs in the GUI bounce around uncontrollably within their intended operating area, and when I moved the cursor off the GUI, the crosshairs tracked my cursor, flickering.
- (2022-02-12) Madison Stenstrom: I installed this color picker on a recommendation and absolutely love it!! I just opened a new chrome profile and installing this extension was one of the first things I did. I cannot emphasize how easy it is to use and how intuitive this tool has become for me. If you're choosing between color picker extensions, I HIGHLY recommend this one. 10/10 stars
- (2022-02-04) J: Excellent! I was watching a tutorial on webdesign and they recommended this. Was able to use it instantly and it's working great.

- (2021-10-22) Nicolas RoCraft: Muito Boa, Extremamente Fácil De Usar, Completa E Muito Intuitiva, Antes De Usar Essa Extenção, Eu Usava A ColorZilla, Mais, Ai Hoje A ColorZilla Parou De Funcionar Do Nada, Então, Com Isso, Eu Tive Que Ir Atras De Outra Extenção Que Fizesse O Mesmo Serviço, E Eu Achei Essa, Testei E Aprovadissima, Recomendo Totalmente Pra Quem Precisa De Uma Extenção Que Faça PickColor
- (2021-10-19) Avish Choudhary: very helpful, and easy to use
- (2021-10-16) Chirag Bokadia: Best Extension for Color picker! KUDOS!
- (2021-10-10) Garett Rogers: its amazing because it shows next pixels, which is the best thing ever, and its funny how most other color pickers don't have that. Also don't forget that the people who made this amazing tool said they don't take your data.
- (2021-09-11) alvin zhang: so hard to use...very non-intuitive
- (2021-09-05) Mahdi Atabaki: thats great i used to use colorzila but ColorPick Eyedropper is way better

Hi! Thank you for this nice extension, I use it often for web-dev purposes. I wonder if it's possible to use for the following scenario. I have a button that changes it's color when hovered over - I'd like to get that color. If I start the ColorPick from the Chrome menu (move the cursor away from the button), I lose it. Is there currently a way to achieve this? If not, it would probably help to have an option of 'turning on' the mouse in the mid of using the ColorPick mode (so that the button starts to react to hovering over) or to have a hotkey for enabling the ColorPick while hovering over the button (without needing to go to the menu and moving the cursor away). - (2021-07-21, v:0.0.2.36) Seth Sharp: File URL Access

Hello, I had the problem with the icon of the extension hidden from the menu. I watched your video about draggable menu (thank you for this) but it didn't work for me the way you presented. But I could fix the problem going to extension settings. There I has the list of all the extensions installed, and each of them can be pinned to the menu. Maybe Crome has changed their interface. I think this tip might be a good addition for your video. - (2020-11-02, v:0.0.2.34) rio dalen: a

I have been using this extension for some time now and it's always worked great. All of a sudden it wasn't working all of the time and works intermittently. I thought perhaps I needed to buy a license so I did so. Still not working. When I hover over something the box opens and says ColorPicker enabled then flashes "may not work" and the message reload the page or refresh. Neither of which work. - (2019-03-28, v:0.0.2.23) IT DON'T WORK!!!!!! FIX NOW!!!!!

I recently installed this extension but was unable to detect colors in images and ended up installing the Windows executable from the extension itself. This was on my work machine, shortly thereafter I received a ticket from internal security that my machine was infected with malware "ColorPick.exe". Running the executable through VirusTotal shows it is flagged by a subset of A/V checkers as a Trojan: https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/a6a385ef845772f0b40f39b81304d766f203d2ec58195a217d160103d34b1f1d/detection Any idea what's going on with this?

Hey there. do you think a keyboard shortcut would work out nicely?
