any-color is a Chrome extension developed by hankchiu.tw. This free extension allows users to easily pick up any pixel color from a web page. Inspired by Chrome DevTool's color picker, any-color offers a convenient way to toggle the color inspector by using the keyboard shortcut Alt+Shift+A. To turn off the color inspector, simply press ESC. With a simple click, users can copy the color hex for their own use.

One of the drawbacks of many color picker extensions is that they are primarily focused on picking DOM colors and cannot pick image colors. However, any-color is designed to address this limitation by providing users with the ability to pick any pixel color they desire, making it a more efficient tool for color selection.

To use any-color, users simply need to install the extension and toggle the color inspector using the Alt+Shift+A keyboard shortcut. It's as simple as that. The extension utilizes the captureVisibleTab API to take a screenshot of the page, rasterize the image data, and provide users with access to the pixel colors.

Overall, any-color is a useful and efficient Chrome extension for anyone who needs to pick pixel colors from web pages. Its straightforward functionality and easy-to-use interface make it a valuable tool for designers, developers, and anyone else who works with colors on the web.
