That makes it super simple to pull the right color from a logo, hero photo, or illustration, without having to leave the app. Color and angle can be adjusted on the panel, but small details sometimes need to be adjusted by hand.Of course, we'd be remiss if we didn't mention our very own Webflow Chrome Extension, which activates an in-Webflow color picker to enable web designers to easily grab colors from within their own project.
