This CSS color analyzer scans pasted CSS code and extracts every unique color value it finds - hex codes, rgb()/rgba(), hsl()/hsla(), and named colors - compiling them into a single, deduplicated palette. It's a practical tool for developers auditing a legacy stylesheet to see how many distinct colors are actually in use, designers reviewing whether a codebase's colors match an intended design system, and teams working toward consolidating an inconsistent color palette. Paste your CSS into the tool and it immediately parses through every rule, pulling out and listing each unique color it detects along with a live swatch, so you can see your entire color footprint at a glance. The analysis runs entirely in your browser, meaning your CSS - which may include proprietary styling or unreleased product code - is never uploaded or transmitted to any server. The parser recognizes all standard CSS color syntaxes, so nothing gets missed just because it's written in HSL instead of hex, or vice versa. Paste your CSS below to extract its full color palette.

Frequently asked questions
What color formats can this analyzer detect?
It detects HEX codes, rgb()/rgba() functions, hsl()/hsla() functions, and standard CSS named colors within pasted stylesheet text.
Does it work with SCSS or LESS variables?
It scans for literal color values in the text; variables that resolve to colors at compile time (like $primary-color) won't be detected unless the underlying color value itself appears in the pasted code.
Why would I want to extract colors from CSS?
It's useful for auditing color consistency, discovering unintentional duplicate or near-duplicate colors, and building a reference palette from an existing codebase.
Does the tool remove duplicate colors automatically?
Yes, identical color values found multiple times in the CSS are consolidated into a single entry in the extracted palette.
Can I use this to audit an entire website's color usage?
Yes, paste the CSS output from your build or dev tools and the analyzer will compile every unique color referenced across it.
Is my CSS code stored anywhere after I paste it?
No, the analysis happens entirely in your browser session and nothing you paste is uploaded, logged, or stored on a server.
