Why it's a strong pick

ColorPick Eyedropper does one job: you pick a color from a page and get its code. It is open source, with the code on GitHub, and its developer says it always works without registration. The trade-off: it is only an eyedropper, with no gradient tool or palette generator, and its colors come from a screenshot.

What it does

You open the extension, click a spot on the page and get that color as HEX or RGB. A zoomed magnifier, which you can drag, helps you land on the exact pixel. You can turn on auto-copy so the color goes to your clipboard when you pick it.

A history panel keeps your latest picked colors. A "snap" mode and a refresh button let you re-take the page snapshot, for example after you scroll.

Key features

Zoomed, draggable magnifier. Helps you reach the pixel you mean.
HEX or RGB output. Choose the format you copy.
Optional auto-copy. Copy the color as you pick it.
History panel. Shows the latest colors you picked.
Snap mode. Works from a snapshot of the page.
Refresh snapshot. Re-take the picture after the page changes or you scroll.
Several browsers. The project lists Chrome, Firefox and Edge.

Who it's for

ColorPick Eyedropper suits designers, developers and anyone who needs a color code now, without extra tools. It fits people who like open-source code and do not want to sign up. If you also want gradients or a page color analyzer, ColorZilla has them. Our ColorZilla vs ColorPick Eyedropper page sets the two side by side.

Is ColorPick Eyedropper open source?

Yes. The developer's site says the source is on GitHub and welcomes pull requests. We did not find the license type, so we do not name one. Open code means anyone can read what the extension does, which is useful for a tool that asks to work on all websites.

Does ColorPick Eyedropper need an account?

No. The developer's page says ColorPick always works without registration, so you do not need to sign up to pick colors. That is the developer's statement about the extension, and we found nothing in what we read that contradicts it. Check the install prompt for permissions.

What permissions and data does ColorPick Eyedropper use?

The developer says it needs permission on all websites so that it is ready when you click. It says the snapshot mode picks from a screenshot that updates only when you scroll. The store's privacy section says the developer has disclosed that it will not collect or use your data. Check the install prompt for the current permission list.

Is there more than one ColorPick Eyedropper listing?

Yes. The store also has a listing called "ColorPick Eyedropper (V3)". We link to the original listing and could not confirm the Manifest V3 status of either one. If you want the V3 version, find it in the store and check that the developer is the same.

Do not mix it up with "Color Picker, Eyedropper (Geco colorpick)", a different extension that had a malicious update in 2025.

FAQ

Is it free? The developer's page describes it as free, but check the store listing for current terms.

Which formats does it give? HEX or RGB.

Does it make gradients or palettes? No. For those, see ColorZilla or Chromapicker.

Good to know

Colors come from a snapshot, and it refreshes only when you scroll. If a page animates or changes on hover, refresh the snapshot before you pick, or you may get the old color.
