This Chrome Extension allows users to upload two images, click on any pixel in each, and compare the color values from both images ✅ Overview This Chrome Extension allows users to upload two images, click on any pixel in each, and compare the color values from both images using: LAB color space (used for perceptual color differences) RGB values Hex codes ΔE (Delta E) – the perceived difference between the two selected colors 🧰 How it Works Image Upload Users can upload two different images from their computer. Each image is rendered on a canvas element. Pixel Color Selection Users click anywhere on each canvas to select a specific pixel. The selected pixel’s color is sampled using the getImageData() method from the canvas.
