The palette, with each color's value, role, and copy buttons
Overview
Get the color palette of any website, check its contrast against WCAG, and export the colors as CSS variables or design tokens.
Color Scheme Extractor shows you the colors a website uses and what each one is for, such as the main brand color, backgrounds, text, and links.
Open it on a page and click Analyze to see the palette, the page's CSS variables, and contrast results, then copy or export what you need. The analysis runs in your browser and only starts when you click Analyze.
What you can do
- Find the colors used in backgrounds, text, links, buttons, borders, SVGs, and CSS variables
- Group similar shades so the palette is easier to read
- Label each color by its role, such as primary, accent, background, text, link, border, error, or success
- List the CSS variables the page defines
- Check WCAG contrast for each text and background pair
- Copy any color as HEX, RGB, HSL, or a CSS variable
- Export to CSS, SCSS, or LESS variables, JSON or Figma tokens, or an SVG palette
- Keep recent analyses and favorite colors on your computer
- Use the popup in a light or dark theme, or match your system
- Point at any element on the page to see its colors
How to use it
