A browser extension plus Figma plugin that extracts colors from any webpage and exports a branded swatch sheet as a styled PDF or image, with automatic WCAG contrast scoring alongside each hex value
WCAG compliance pressure is rising fast and no color-picker tool connects extraction directly to accessibility grading in a shareable artifact
Built for Web designers, developers, and brand teams who need to extract and share color palettes from websites or designs..
Bundling accessibility scoring with the export turns a utility into a compliance workflow tool that designers and auditors need, not just a curiosity

“Color extraction lacks practical output options. Colors do appear, but there’s no simple way to export them—no PDF, no image sheet, nothing that consolidates swatches with their hex values for quick reference or sharing.

Why this is a gap
Surfaced from a high-intensity complaint with clear willingness to pay and a specific, reachable audience.
The market
Web designers, developers, and brand teams extracting color palettes from designs. ~20 monthly searches indicates niche, episodic demand—people solving this problem infrequently or using free workarounds.
Competition & the opening
Chrome color pickers, Adobe tools, and sites like Coolors exist (7/10 crowded). The opening is dead-simple export: single-click PDF or PNG with hex values and Pantone codes, no design fluff.
What's hard to build
Building a color-picker library is trivial; the genuine hard part is reliable cross-browser color sampling under different image formats, color spaces (sRGB vs P3), and gamma correction. PDF or PNG generation itself is commodity, but pixel-perfect swatch accuracy is not.
Why now
Design workflows increasingly demand portable, shareable color data; existing extractors stop at display.
