Tweet Have you ever come across a great colour on a website and wondered what it is? In the past you would probably be looking through the sites source code, or doing a ‘print screen’ and paste into Photoshop using the eye dropper tool to get the colour values. However the ColorZilla plugin for Firefox makes this tedious process an event of the past. The plugin allows you to:

• Get a colour reading from any point in your browser.
• Copy the colour value (choose from Hexadecimal or RGB) and paste into another program.
• Zoom up to 1000% to get an exact pixel colour.
• Measure the distance between any two points on a page.
• Built-in palette browser with pre-defined colour sets to choose from.
• Ability to save colour values to a “Favourites” palette.
• DOM spying features to get information about DOM elements quickly and easily.

I’m sure most designers would agree that this plugin for Firefox is priceless!
