As developers and designers, we know how important color is β
and yet,** managing, collecting, and sharing color palettes** often becomes a messy, time-consuming part of the workflow.
What if you could just drag over any part of a website, extract its color palette, and save or export it in seconds?
Thatβs exactly what Palette Box does.

- π― Extract colors from any webpage by selecting a region
- πΎ Save extracted palettes as presets β with editable names
- π€ Export palettes to JSON for design systems or code use
