Tinctly - Color Picker & Studio

Pick colors from any webpage, convert between 9 formats, build palettes, generate gradients and check WCAG contrast.

Tinctly is a professional color toolkit for Chrome — pick any color from any webpage, convert between 9 formats instantly, build palettes, generate CSS gradients, check WCAG accessibility, and redesign any website's color scheme live in your browser. Whether you're a UI/UX designer, front-end developer, or digital artist, Tinctly gives you a complete color workstation right inside Chrome — no separate app, no subscription, no account required. ━━━ PICK COLORS FROM ANYWHERE ━━━ • Eyedropper — Click any pixel on any webpage to capture its exact color. The precision crosshair cursor and magnifier zoom give pixel-perfect accuracy on high-DPI displays. • Advanced Grid Sampler — Average colors across 1×1, 3×3, 5×5, 11×11, or 25×25 pixel areas to smooth anti-aliasing noise and get true representative values. • Full-Screen Color Picker — Sample colors from anywhere on your screen, including native applications, desktop UI elements, and content outside the browser window. • Dynamic State Capture — Freeze :hover and :focus state colors that are normally invisible to standard eyedroppers. Analyze tab-focus rings, dropdown highlights, and button hover states in real time. ━━━ 9 COLOR FORMATS, ONE CLICK ━━━ Instantly switch between every format designers and developers actually use: HEX · RGB · RGBA · HSL · HSLA · HSV · CMYK · LAB · CSS Variable Auto-copy to clipboard on every pick. Manual input in HEX, RGB, or HSL tabs with live preview. ━━━ FULL-FEATURED COLOR PICKER ━━━ • HSV color wheel with saturation/value canvas • Hue bar, opacity/alpha slider, lightness slider • HEX, RGB, and HSL manual input with live preview • Tint, shade, and tone generator strip — 10 levels at a glance • Nearest color name badge with Delta-E perceptual distance • Dark mode preview panel — see how your color looks on dark backgrounds instantly • Persistent color history — recent picks saved automatically, click any swatch to restore ━━━ PALETTE MANAGER ━━━ • Built-in design system palettes ready to reference without leaving the browser • Create unlimited custom palettes with individually named color swatches • Import palettes from ASE (Adobe Swatch Exchange), GPL (GIMP/Inkscape), and JSON files • Export as ASE, GPL, JSON, or image swatches for use in your design tools and code • Share any palette via a URL — no account required, no external server ━━━ WEBPAGE COLOR ANALYZER ━━━ Analyze any webpage with one click. Tinctly scans every visible element and extracts the complete color palette in use — backgrounds, text colors, borders, shadows, and more. Colors are organized by role (Text / Background / Border) and mapped to their exact DOM elements. Hover over any color to highlight its element on the page and see its CSS selector, tag, class, and dimensions. Essential for auditing a design system, reverse-engineering a brand palette, or preparing a redesign. ━━━ COLOR HARMONY GENERATOR ━━━ Generate balanced color schemes from any base color using proven color theory rules: • Complementary — maximum contrast, ideal for CTAs and accent colors • Analogous — adjacent hues for natural, cohesive interfaces • Triadic — three balanced hues for vibrant, structured palettes • Tetradic — four hues for rich, layered color systems • Split Complementary — softer contrast alternative to pure complementary • Monochromatic — single hue across multiple lightness values for depth and hierarchy Each scheme shows the full palette with tints, shades, and tones. Click any swatch to copy in your chosen format. ━━━ CSS GRADIENT GENERATOR ━━━ Build production-ready CSS gradients without writing a line of code: • Linear gradients at any angle (0°–360°) • Radial gradients — circle and ellipse shapes • Conic gradients — pie charts, color wheels, decorative patterns • Visual color stop editor — add, drag, and remove stops with live preview • One-click CSS code copy — paste directly into your stylesheet • Export as CSS snippet, SVG file, or PNG image for design assets ━━━ WCAG ACCESSIBILITY TOOLS ━━━ Ensure your color choices are accessible for all users: • Instant contrast ratio calculation for any foreground/background pair • WCAG 2.1 AA (4.5:1) and AAA (7:1) compliance badges with real-time feedback • Visual text preview at normal and large font sizes on your chosen colors • Color blindness simulation: Protanopia (red-blind), Deuteranopia (green-blind), Tritanopia (blue-blind) • One-click accessible color suggestion — finds the nearest hue-compatible color that passes 4.5:1 contrast • Redesign Studio runs live contrast checks as you recolor elements, warning before you create an inaccessible combination ━━━ REDESIGN STUDIO — RECOLOR ANY WEBSITE ━━━ Tinctly's Redesign Studio is a powerful in-page color editor.
