If you're a solo developer or front-end engineer, youβve probably felt this:
βIβve got 12 shades of red... and no idea what any of them are called.β
βWhich one is the primary button color again?β
βWhy is my color palette living in 3 different files and a Figma screenshot?β
Welcome to the chaos that is color management. π
π€― The Problem: Color Naming + Consistency Hell
In one of my projects, I found myself copy-pasting hex codes like #f30000, #d80000, #620000 all over my codebase.
The result? Inconsistent UI, confusing refactors, and no documentation.
Even worse β I had no clue which shades were meant for hover states, borders, alerts, etc.
π§ The Fix: Palette Box + Editable Color Presets
So I built Palette Box, a Chrome extension designed to extract, organize, and name colors visually β
directly from the web or from generated palettes.
Hereβs what changed everything for me:
β
Visual Editing of UI Palettes
I could finally see all my shades with labels β and rename them instantly.
β
Export as JSON with Meaningful Keys
Once I named my colors (Primary0, Primary10, Primary50, etc.), I could export them in clean JSON format:
No more guessing, no more renaming in 3 different tools.
Just consistent, labeled, shareable color systems.
