2CreateAWebsite is one of our favorite blogs, and this morning I finally had the opportunity to play catchup; I’m glad I did!

Have you ever been on a website or blog and wondered, “What in the world is that particular color?”

ColorZilla makes it easy as pie to hover over any color on any webpage and find the exact “ingredients” that make up that particular color.

“With this handy Firefox add-on, you can use the eyedropper tool to hover over any color in your browser and it will display the hex color code.”

After I added it to my Firefox browser, it shows up in the lower right hand corner. Depending on the other addons you’re using, you may have to make some modifications to their settings so you can see the string of code (for example I downplayed some of the SearchStatus features to allow room for the hexidecimal code TO show).

For those truly interested in getting “just the right color,” and keeping in mind that even after you do, it really does all depend on the graphics card and monitor your visitor is using, ColorZilla is the way to go.

There’s even help/documentation files on their website to help you get the most out of using this new color picker addon.

And… it’s free!
