Make The Web Your Palette With ColorZilla

 
This is a fun tool for anybody looking to design or assist in designing their site when we may not have Photoshop at the ready (or even when we do). 
 
ColorZilla is a color picker that can be used for small or large purposes. In its simplest form, ColorZilla is an eyedropper tool that you can use on any page you're on. It can identify any pixel color, analyze it, and load it into a personal palette for your needs. This is a great tool for designers and website owners to use together, be cause it doesn't require design software. So instead of asking for a "salmon-y" color for your new products page background and having your designer use the wrong kind of "salmon-y", you can actually have the exact color ready in your own stored palette. 
 
This is also a great way to test new colors together without having to whip out a sample in design first. You can search the internet for your heart's desire for just the right colors, and you can approve them or reject them on your own, without needing a third party. 
 
You can do a lot of other neat stuff with this web design tool like adding saturation, picking a color from a Flash site (while using Chrome) or in zoom, but the fun of this playful tool is figuring out all of its functions on your own. We'll be doing just that over at LADezign.
Thanks for reading. Jason.
