Create a shortcut for it. I have it set to CMD + Shift + C. Great to have it easily accessible

Hey, thanks to this comment, I just discovered that if you hit Cmd+Shift+C in Chrome it'll let you inspect any element by clicking on it. Cheers!

Also in Safari

Very interesting design! I have too focused on solving the problem for finding color schemes specifically in web design. Tell me what do you think - https://csscolors.io

This looks great thanks! I really appreciate the color blindness functionality. As a color blind web dev i really have issues with coming up with good color palettes and this looks like something i can use.

Great job!

To be honest I don’t think any of the complimentary colours suggested by this are complimentary.

It's complementary , which is a different word and has a very specific meaning when it comes to colour theory (a colour's complement is the colour directly opposite it on a colour wheel) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementary_colors

Ahhh I see. Thank you for the correction.

They don't appear to be complementary either. The complement to #ee4035 is in the cyan range (~5cf7fa). You can get this by hand. Convert #ee4035 to rgb(234, 64, 53). Subtract those values from max RGB domain (255) and take square root of difference of squares. i.e sqrt(255^2 - 238^2) etc. You end up with rgb(92, 247, 250), or the cyan color mentioned above. You can also check this in several other complementary calc…

that's the rgb compliment[1], this app uses the traditional colour wheel[2]
