A Few Great and Colorful Firefox Addons

When contemplating what are the best Firefox add-ons for color selection and creativity, question 1 to consider is: Why Firefox?

Question 2 is: What is the best Internet browser for easy use plus thousands of add-on apps to enjoy? If you said Firefox, then question one is also answered.

Firefox tops the list for millions of users, because it is so easy to customize and use. Because its simple usability and great perks, this popular tool makes up about 30 percent of the Internet browsers used. With Firefox, you can easily customize your browser and when you consider that Firefox is open-source, then you understand that those thousands of add-on applications are right at your fingertips and ready for your creative endeavors.

With that in mind, let’s talk about a couple of Firefox add-ons that do wonders in the area of color.

Colorful Tabs

The first is an application called ColorfulTabs.  Probably one of the all-time favorites with Firefox users in color manipulation, ColorfulTabs has incredible tabbed-browsing features that allow users to color every tab in a cool or unique color.  This allows the specified tab to be easy to find and distinguishable while working on the total picture. It is no wonder the ColorTab feature is so popular and has won many awards.

ColorZilla

Another great color add-on from Firefox to consider might be ColorZilla.

ColorZilla allows you, the user, to adjust a color from any place within the browser and paste it into any program of your choice. This application includes a feature that allows choosing colors and forming custom color palettes – a very important feature to help with easy and beautiful web design.

Color That Site

Color That Sitee is a Firefox add-on that allows for easy color changes for any part of a website. After exploring and experimenting, you can save the color change or start again to see how your site might look with a different color mood or combination. This can be a lifesaver for finding new colors that resonate with your message and personality without going through drastic changes before you are ready to go public with your new look.

Palette Grabber

We will finish this discussion of great color add-ons from Firefox with Palette Grabber.

This color tool works with many other applications such as PaintShop Pro or Photoshop. The app allows you to grab a color scheme from one page and export it to another. This device makes web desigfn and color efficient and easy.

Conclusion

There are literally thousands of add-ons in the world of Firefox; to try and name them all is impossible. Hopefully lingering on these four color applications will give you a start in finding the right programs and add-ons to help you with your color schemes and web designs.

It is rare that a web designer has too many choices. Once upon a time the choices for how to colorize a site were difficult and few; now they are abundant and right at your fingertips.

It is no wonder so many have turned to Firefox as their Internet browser of choice!
