I’ve got a project I’ve been working on that I’m calling Color Hound. The purpose of this utility is to extract textual color information from any text source.
Currently, it extracts only 6 digit hex codes, but I’m planning to add 3 digit hex (#1A3), color words (blue, red, yellow, etc), and possibly RGB at some point.
This tool does two things that I really like, first, it provides a colorized chart showing all colors found from the input text. This is similar to the Hex Extractor tool I discussed earlier.
My favorite feature though is that it colorizes the input text itself. This is useful for matching up the definition of a color with where it is used. For instance to more easily identify a color definition in a CSS file.
