ColorZilla for Firefox

ColorZilla for Firefox is an add-on that assists web developers and graphic designers with color related tasks - both basic and advanced.

With ColorZilla you can get a color reading from any point in your browser, quickly adjust this color and paste it into another program. You can analyze the page and inspect a palette of its colors. The built-in palette browser allows choosing colors from pre-defined color sets and saving the most used colors in custom palettes. DOM spying features allow getting various information about DOM elements quickly and easily. You can create advanced multi-stop CSS gradients. And there's much more...

ColorZilla is also available as a Chrome extension.

The Zoom function was inspired by similar (but somewhat different) Zoom In/Out functions found in the excellent Web Developer extension.

The ColorPicker color map and color slider controls in ColorZilla v2.5 and later are based on the excellent ColorPicker by John Dyer.

Thanks to everyone who suggested new features and reported bugs.
