Native Color-picker Tool

[luetage]

There is one built into developer tools, but that's hard to access. I'd like to see a color-picker tool built into the status bar. Extensions that do the same can pose problems.

Depending on your system's color profile they might pick a wrong color, which is less than optimal, to put it mildly.

This would be a nice addition, I agree!

I could not find it in Developer Tools.

I am happy with FastStone Capture, but that's Windows only. Something built-in (using the Camera Icon on the Status Bar) would be better for most users.

@Pesala You gotta click on a color in the devtools elements tab (CSS section), then the color picker overview will appear. Picking colors from a webpage is enabled by default then and you just have to hover over the webpage and the cursor will magnify the area surrounding it. But yeah, it's almost too much trouble using this, if you're not working in the devtools already. Extensions do a good job at enabling this, but as pointed out in the OP, depending on your system's color profile, they might show the wrong hex value, while the devtools color picker shows the correct one.
