Technical Limitations

Limitations When Extracting Color Codes Consecutively

This tool utilizes the browser's EyeDropper API. Due to security reasons, it's not possible to automatically activate the eyedropper continuously. You must click the "Use Eyedropper" button or press the shortcut key "Shift + S" each time you want to extract a color.

Browser Compatibility

The EyeDropper API is a relatively new Web API and may not be supported in all browsers. It works in major Chromium-based browsers such as Chrome, Edge, and Opera, but may not be available in some browsers.
