I've been using this for a while, and have found it especially handy today... and I realised that I've not seen anyone post about it, so thought I'd share the details.

If you need to pick a colour from any webpage, you can use Colorzilla. It's an extension for Firefox, which gives you a small eye-dropper in the bottom-left corner of your window (in the status bar). When clicked, a cross-hair cursor is activated, which lets you roll over any element, showing the colour beneath the cross-hair.

When you have clicked to choose a colour, a right-click menu is available on the eye-dropper, which gives you many ways of representing the colour, and lots of options to copy to the clipboard.

It's available via the regular Firefox extension site, or here, from the developer:


Apologies if this seems off topic, but given that it will most likely be used by CSS developers, I thought this the most appropriate forum for the post.

Hope this helps,
Dan
