Snag Color and Dimensions from Any Web Page

Colorzilla - Just click-on the eye-dropper and hover over any area of a web page to get the read-out of its color in either RGB or Hex color. This is most excellent for quick reference for your own site or for selecting colors from other sites you visit.

MeasureIT - Works very similar to Colorzilla. Click-on the icon in the bottom left corner of the browser and drag over the dimensions on your screen to see width and height of a region.

   MeasureIT has been in my toolbox for a while now and it is brilliant in it’s simplicity. This is a great example of a simple tool that may only do one thing but executes flawlessly.

   Colorzilla sounds really useful but my color picker needs are handled by Pixie, which I posted about on TechFires just yesterday.

   Scott, Yes Pixie looks very interesting and has some features that Colorzilla lacks. I’m just so enamored with browser-centered utilities. I guess the two combined in one locale is what’s so magical to me. That’s the amazing thing in technology; finding the right tools that work for you.

   Random, That’s great. There are so many helpful tools available. Every once in a while I latch onto one that makes it into my daily workflow and that is exciting to me. Jing is a nifty one for sure. Glad it’s worked so well for you.
