| 1 | +# Color PickUp |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +**Color PickUp** is a minimalist color picker extension and web tool designed to help you inspect, convert, and organize color palettes from a clean, responsive popup. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +The interface is divided into three key functional areas: |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +### 1. The Top Control Bar |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +Divided into two streamlined groups to keep your workspace uncluttered: |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +- **Left Controls:** Includes the **Clear History** button to wipe your custom palette, the **Color Picker** shortcut, the **Eye Dropper** tool, and a dynamic **Tile Size** field to scale the size of color tiles (from 8px to 128px) dynamically across the entire application. |
| 12 | +- **Right Tools:** Houses the **Reload UI** utility, the **Theme Toggle** (for seamless Light/Dark mode transitions), and standard links to **Support** and **Donation** pages (hidden automatically when run as a standalone web application). |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +### 2. The Main Workspace |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +Consists of an adaptive dual-column layout: |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +- **Color Preview Block (Left):** Displays a large preview of your active color. Clicking this area triggers your operating system or browser's native color picker. _(Please note: the visual style of the native color picker varies depending on your platform and operating system)._ |
| 19 | +- **Conversion Panel (Right):** Displays the selected color automatically converted into six standard formats: **HEX, HSB, RGB, HSL, HWB, and CMYK**. Clicking any field copies the formatted code to your clipboard instantly while showing a subtle popup alert. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +### 3. Palette Sections |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +Located at the bottom of the interface, this area features collapsible, grid-based accordions containing several predefined palettes (Artistic, Favorite, UI Design, Material, Safe, etc.). |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +- Clicking any color tile automatically updates the main workspace, showing a checkmark (`✓`) on the active tile to indicate your current selection. |
| 26 | +- The **User defined** section at the top of the list acts as your historical log. Your custom picks are saved automatically and can be cleared at any time using the **Clear History** button in the top control bar. |

| 30 | +**Note on the Eye Dropper Feature:** |
| 31 | +The Eye Dropper allows you to inspect and capture colors from anywhere on your desktop screen, including areas outside of your browser window. This utilizes the modern browser `EyeDropper` API; on unsupported environments or mobile devices, the extension will gracefully notify you and prompt you to use the standard color picker block. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +You can install this application as a Progressive Web App (PWA) on your mobile device, run it as a standalone web application, or deploy it as a browser extension on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and other Chromium-based browsers. |
