π¨ Palette Box β My Chrome Extension to Instantly Extract Colors from the Web


Hey Hashnode! π
Iβm excited to share a side project I recently built: Palette Box β a Chrome extension that helps developers and designers extract colors from any website instantly.
β The Problem
Ever seen a perfect color on a website and wanted to reuse it in your project?
The typical workflow looks like this:
Take a screenshot
Open it in Figma or Photoshop
Copy HEX/RGB manually
Paste into code
Thatβs 4+ steps just to get a single color. π«
β The Solution: Palette Box
Palette Box reduces this down to just one drag.
π± Drag a region on any webpage
π¨ Instantly extract dominant colors
πΎ Save palettes with names
π€ Export as JSON
π Share presets with your team or community
π» Who It's For
Whether you're:
A frontend dev creating design tokens
A designer collecting color inspiration
A content creator working on visual assets
...Palette Box simplifies your color workflow.
π§ͺ Example
Perfect for use in Tailwind, SCSS, styled-components, or design systems.
π Try it for Free
You can install it for free from the Chrome Web Store:
