MiroMiro vs ColorZilla: Color & Palette
MiroMiro vs ColorZilla compared. ColorZilla picks single colors and generates gradients (free, since 2007).
MiroMiro vs ColorZilla
ColorZilla is the original Chrome and Firefox color picker - released in 2007 and still going. It does three things very well: pick the color of any pixel on a page, generate CSS gradients from a visual editor, and analyze a webpage to list its colors. It is free, mature, and used by tens of thousands of designers daily.

Designers and developers who need colors plus the surrounding workflow - CSS inspection, design tokens, OKLCH/Tailwind output, accessibility checking - in one modern extension for Chrome and Firefox.

- WCAG 2.2 contrast ratio on white and black, AA/AAA pass-fail, shown beside every color
- Full CSS inspection - copy any element's styles, not just its color
- SVG, image, and Lottie extraction in the same extension
- Design token export as a tailwind.config.js or CSS variables file
- Modern UI built for the Tailwind / Cursor / v0 workflow
Nimm ColorZilla, wenn
Users who want a dedicated, single-purpose color picker with the best gradient generator in the category.
- Most established color tool - 18+ years of polish and trust
- Advanced gradient generator with visual stop editor - one of the best in the category
- Multiple eyedropper sampling sizes (1x1 up to 25x25 pixels) for averaging
- Color history with auto-saved recently-picked colors
So unterscheidet sich der Workflow wirklich
Gleiche Aufgabe, beide Tools. Direkt nebeneinander.
Task
Pick a single color from any pixel
ColorZilla
ColorZilla: open eyedropper, hover, click - color saved to history with HEX/RGB/HSL.
MiroMiro
MiroMiro: open color picker, hover, click - color shown with HEX, RGB, HSL, OKLCH, Tailwind name, and WCAG ratio.
Task
Convert a hex to OKLCH for Tailwind v4
ColorZilla
ColorZilla doesn't support OKLCH. Copy the hex, paste it into a separate converter tool, then into your CSS.
MiroMiro
MiroMiro shows the OKLCH value beside every color picked or extracted - copy directly.
Task
Get every color used on a website
ColorZilla
ColorZilla's webpage analyzer lists all colors found - useful, but no organization or contrast info.
MiroMiro
MiroMiro extracts the full palette grouped by usage (background, text, border) with contrast ratios and Tailwind matches.
Task
Check if a color combo passes WCAG AA
ColorZilla
ColorZilla doesn't check contrast. Copy both hex codes into a separate accessibility tool.
MiroMiro
MiroMiro shows AA/AAA pass-fail next to every color, against both white and black backgrounds, instantly.
Task
Build a CSS gradient
ColorZilla
ColorZilla's gradient editor is best-in-class - visual stop editor, multiple gradient types, instant CSS output.
MiroMiro
MiroMiro has a basic gradient generator at /tools/gradient-generator. ColorZilla wins this one - use both.
Task
Export brand colors as a tailwind.config.js
ColorZilla
ColorZilla doesn't export design tokens. Copy each hex manually into a tailwind.config.js file.
MiroMiro
MiroMiro Design Tokens panel: extract every color from a site → copy as a ready-to-paste tailwind.config.js.

Was MiroMiro anders macht
The code export runs on our own engine, built, tested and improved in-house.
Unsere eigene Engine

Getestet auf echten Kundenseiten
Unser automatischer Test läuft auf den Websites, die Leute wirklich extrahieren, nicht auf einer zufälligen Liste, und bewertet, wie nah der Code am Original ist.
Jeder Request wird geprüft
Jeder API-Request wird automatisch bewertet. Die, die nicht gut genug sind, zeigen uns die Sonderfälle, die wir als Nächstes beheben – nach Seitentyp gruppiert.

Choose MiroMiro for Tailwind v4 / OKLCH workflows
Tailwind v4 made OKLCH the default color space. ColorZilla still outputs HEX/RGB/HSL only - fine for traditional CSS, missing for modern Tailwind. MiroMiro gives every color in OKLCH alongside the Tailwind class name.
Choose MiroMiro for accessibility-first work
If you need WCAG AA/AAA contrast verification on every color you pick, MiroMiro shows the ratios inline. ColorZilla requires a second tool for this - fine occasionally, slow if accessibility is in your daily checklist.
Choose ColorZilla for the gradient generator
ColorZilla's visual gradient editor - drag color stops, adjust angles, see live CSS - is genuinely better than MiroMiro's. If gradient editing is a core part of your workflow, keep ColorZilla. The two tools complement each other; install both.
Preise – wofür du wirklich zahlst
MiroMiroFree to start, then €9/month or Lifetime
free forever for unlimited color picking, palette extraction, CSS inspection and 50 asset downloads a month, with a 3-day trial of everything. Pro is €9/month (€60/year) or one-time lifetime, adding bulk asset downloads, unlimited section-to-code, design token export at scale, and Lottie extraction.
Free
free forever, no Pro tier. The product has been free since 2007 and is unlikely to change.
The pricing comparison is straightforward: both are free for the color tool itself. The question is what you need around the color tool. If color picking is the entire job - ColorZilla. If color picking is one of five things you do daily (and the others are CSS inspection, SVG download, token export, contrast checks) - MiroMiro covers all five in one extension, the first three free.
ColorZilla is the trusted, single-purpose color tool with the best gradient editor in the category. After 18 years of polish, it does color picking and gradient creation extremely well. If those are the only two things you need from a color extension, keep using it.
MiroMiro is the modern color tool built for Tailwind v4, OKLCH, and accessibility-first workflows - and it doubles as a CSS inspector, asset extractor, and design token exporter. If you find yourself opening ColorZilla plus a contrast checker plus a hex-to-OKLCH converter plus a CSS inspector, MiroMiro replaces all four with one extension at no cost.
For most modern design and front-end work, the right answer is: install MiroMiro for the all-in-one workflow, keep ColorZilla for its superior gradient editor when you need to build complex CSS gradients.
Häufige Fragen
What is the best modern alternative to ColorZilla?
MiroMiro is the closest modern alternative - same color picking and palette extraction, plus OKLCH and Tailwind output, WCAG contrast ratios, CSS inspection, SVG/image/Lottie downloads, and design token export. It's free for the color tools and built for Tailwind v4 and AI coding workflows that ColorZilla predates.
Does ColorZilla support OKLCH for Tailwind v4?
No. ColorZilla outputs HEX, RGB, and HSL only - it predates the OKLCH spec by over a decade. If you build with Tailwind v4 (OKLCH-native), MiroMiro shows the OKLCH value alongside the Tailwind class name for every color, no manual conversion needed.
Can MiroMiro extract a full page color palette like ColorZilla?
Yes - and arguably better. ColorZilla's webpage color analyzer returns a flat list of every color found. MiroMiro extracts the palette grouped by usage (backgrounds, text, borders, accents), shows the WCAG contrast on each, and matches every color to its closest Tailwind class name.
Does ColorZilla check WCAG accessibility contrast?
No, ColorZilla focuses on color picking and gradients. MiroMiro shows the WCAG 2.2 contrast ratio (AA/AAA pass-fail) on both white and black backgrounds for every color you pick or extract - useful for accessibility audits without leaving the page.
Is ColorZilla better than MiroMiro for gradients?
Yes. ColorZilla's gradient generator - with its visual color-stop editor and multiple gradient types - is genuinely best-in-class and has been polished for over a decade. MiroMiro has a basic gradient generator at /tools/gradient-generator, but ColorZilla wins on this specific feature. The two complement each other well.
Does MiroMiro work in Firefox like ColorZilla?
Yes. MiroMiro is on Firefox Add-ons as well as Chrome, Edge, Brave and Opera, so both tools cover Firefox.
