How to extract colors and variables from CSS

  1. Upload or paste CSS. Drop a `.css` or `.scss` file onto the upload box, or paste CSS source code into the text area.
  2. Click Extract Colors & Variables. The browser regex engine scans all property declarations (`color`, `background`, `border`, `fill`, `:root`).
  3. View visual swatches. Inspect color swatches, HEX codes, RGB/HSL strings, and frequency counts.
  4. Export palette. Download unique colors as CSV or copy CSS custom variables for your design system.
