MiroMiro vs ColorZilla: Modern Color Picker & Palette Extractor
MiroMiro vs ColorZilla compared. ColorZilla picks single colors and generates gradients (free, since 2007). MiroMiro extracts full page palettes, OKLCH/Tailwind values, contrast ratios, plus CSS, assets, and design tokens.
MiroMiro: 提供免费版 ColorZilla: Free
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.
MiroMiro covers the same color use cases — pick any color, extract the full page palette — and modernizes the output: every color comes with HEX, RGB, HSL, OKLCH, Tailwind class name, and WCAG contrast ratios on white and black, computed instantly. It also surrounds the color tool with everything else you usually open ColorZilla for: CSS inspection, SVG and image downloads, design token export to Tailwind config, and Lottie extraction.
ColorZilla is the right choice if you want a single-purpose color picker with a great gradient generator and you work in Firefox. MiroMiro is the right choice if you want colors as part of a full design extraction workflow — especially if you build with Tailwind v4 (OKLCH-native), care about accessibility, or feed tokens into AI coding tools.
为什么选择 MiroMiro 而不是 ColorZilla？
- Every color comes with OKLCH and Tailwind class name — ColorZilla gives HEX, RGB, HSL only
- 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
ColorZilla 的优势
- 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
- Cross-browser support (Chrome and Firefox) — MiroMiro is Chrome/Edge only
- Color history with auto-saved recently-picked colors
Workflow
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.

Decision
选择 MiroMiro 如果...
Designers and developers who need colors plus the surrounding workflow — CSS inspection, design tokens, OKLCH/Tailwind output, accessibility checking — in one modern Chrome extension.
选择 ColorZilla 如果...
Users who want a dedicated, single-purpose color picker with the best gradient generator in the category, especially on Firefox.
Scenarios
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.
Pricing
ColorZilla: free forever, no Pro tier. The product has been free since 2007 and is unlikely to change.
MiroMiro: free for unlimited color picking, palette extraction, and CSS inspection. Pro is €6/month or one-time lifetime, adding bulk asset downloads, unlimited section-to-code, design token export at scale, and Lottie extraction.
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 free covers all five in one extension.
Verdict
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.
