    I built my own tool some time ago. Same principle, click a swatch and the code's on your clipboard, but you add and organise everything in the browser, palettes per brand or project, hex or RGB copy, bulk-paste a whole list of codes at once, and (in Chrome or Edge) an eyedropper that grabs colours from anywhere on your screen, brand PDFs included. It saves automatically in your browser, with export/import for backups or for sharing a brand palette file with your team.

    Free, no sign-up, nothing leaves your browser: Swatch Library

    If you prefer Randy's keep-it-on-the-desktop approach, save the page (Ctrl+S) and it works exactly the same as a local file.

    Thanks for keeping inspiring, both.
