No one likes the HEX code hassle. You will want to create display ads with the same brand colors as found on the website. You don’t always have your brand book handy. For colors at least, you don’t have to when you have Colorzilla installed. With ColorZilla you can get a color reading from any point in your browser, quickly adjust this color and paste it into another program. It also has a bunch of other nifty features, making it the most comprehensive color picker available.
If you need all colors from a website, then Site Palette is the tool for you. Site Palette generates color palettes based on the coding of the website. It also allows you to create shareable links and download auto-generated Sketch templates.
Have you ever tried finding out what font is used on a website you really like? And how often have you turned up empty-handed?
