Description from store
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

- (2024-12-27) Dawn Boe: No longer supported by Chrome

- (2024-12-06) Nir London: good, i use it a lot
- (2024-11-27) Danny: I dunno what they did to this plugin but it used to work perfectly but maybe they updated it because I'm no longer able to select color values from webpages
- (2024-10-30) Cody Purdie: Advertisements
- (2024-10-25) Horlar Expert: I love this extension and I appreciate the founder... I Have been using this extension more than a year now, and it has been one of my best extension ever incluidng Image downloader. But taking a look at the two extension, I discovered it says "This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions." Pls the owner should quickly update it because I don't want to lose this extension. I even wonder why some people are giving it bad review but to me, I will surely recommend him for others because it's the best. Thank you
- (2024-10-04) Inverted Aarz: thanks for the pharapy lesson on the video.
- (2024-09-25) Michał B.: Needs premium for the simplest function in existence and shows ads.
- (2024-09-17) Colin Desaulniers: This is a great extension. I use it almost daily for web development. Quick and easy to grab color code. Note for the developer. Please update this extension. I don't want to lose it. Message shown in my Google Chrome Extensions tab: "This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions." Thank you!
- (2024-08-29) Giovanni Koll: Has the best zoom tool that I've seen so far. Also, it's the only eyedropper that I've tried that stays open after I select a color, so I don't have to constantly be re-opening the tool each time. A simple click of the escape button closes it. It also has by far the most extensive options. Why not 5 stars? Because of the annoying ads and the fact that it may be unsupported soon due to not following best practices for extensions. I will definitely uninstall it when it becomes unsupported.
- (2024-08-22) Raja Hassan Uzair: amzing 100% recommded
- (2024-08-11) Yiorgos Theo: I have several extensions and none show ads like this one. Tried it, didn't like it and uninstalled it.
- (2024-08-03) Flubbledub: Was great before they started throwing annoying ads all over the screen. 0 stars :(
- (2024-07-06) Isa Akharume: Works well
- (2024-06-25) Carine Joubert: I use this extension daily. It works well on both Firefox and Chrome. It's simple to use. Great thing about it is the ability to quickly copy and paste HEXs.
- (2024-06-24) Joey Babcock: Was my goto extension for literal years until the developer started injecting ads when the extension is used, not cool Sam.
- (2024-06-03) Charles Marks: CONFUSED - the developer says he has fixed the random advertising tab opening recently but the version of the extension has not been updated since June 2023. How can that be possible? Used to like the app but dont trust it now.
- (2024-05-20) Dave: Why do you require to see my browsing history for a color picker? UNINSTALL NOW!
- (2024-05-17) Shane Elliott: Was ok until they added the adverts. Uninstalled.
- (2024-05-06) Custodians of Change: HATE! If I could give no stars I would. I went as far to reinstall the extension just so that I can give it a 1 star review. Absolutely rubbish, get Native Eyedropper instead.
- (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.

- (2024-03-27) Connor Hungsberg: ESSENTIAL extension; One suggestion I absolutely LOVE this extension. It's fantastic for color picking on any web page or image! I have one suggestion: Add a setting that allows the user to choose if they want the hex code to be automatically copied to the clipboard to allow for streamlined pasting into an art/design program. If adding a settings menu is too big of an ask, consider adding a button next to the hex code that copies the color to clipboard from a single click.
- (2024-03-21) Quincy Whittaker: Wonderful plugin until they introduced the garbage ads. Who thought this was a good idea to annoy the user into supporting the development?
- (2024-03-19) flynn rider: so much ads
- (2024-03-07) Deniz Savkay: Very easy
- (2024-02-03) Lennon Grey: This is terrible. I was trying to color pick on a website and it didn't let me exit the color pick mode, it was very buggy and made me lose information on my current website whilst ads were flying across my screen.
- (2024-01-25) Aleksa Dordevic: Thank you very much
- (2024-01-22) Nathan: Wayyyy to many ads
- (2024-01-11) Dario Ávalos: very useful!
- (2024-01-09) Richard Liu: Have been using it for years. It works perfectly! No Ads.
- (2023-12-26) Crazy Ingenieur: It works as advertised. You can pick on anything on the current website and get the color in your preferred format: RGB, HEX, or HSL. The only thing I whish this extension had is the HSB format, or any other formats such as OKLAB, and OKLCH.
- (2023-12-21) Bradley Sloan: It's adware.
- (2023-11-10) Rafail R: Doesnt work. keeps throwing ads

- (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🤞

- (2023-06-02) 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.
