What if you could just drag over any part of a website, extract its color palette, and save or export it in seconds?

That’s exactly what Palette Box does.

Palette Box is a Chrome extension that lets you:

  • 🎯 Extract colors from any webpage by selecting a region
  • πŸ’Ύ Save extracted palettes as presets β€” with editable names
  • πŸ“€ Export palettes to JSON for design systems or code use
  • πŸ”— Share palettes via encrypted codes with team members or clients

It’s built for frontend devs, UI/UX designers, and indie hackers who care about visual consistency and speed.
