  • The EyeDropper API: Pick colors from anywhere on your screen

    Currently, all colors are returned in the sRGB color model. This means the API won't accurately return colors outside the sRGB spectrum, for example those on Apple's P3 screens. How to deal with this is an open issue. Work is also happening on a new Color API for the web. The EyeDropper API could use this Color API when it lands in future versions of browsers.

  • Is there a way to get around casting with declare for new?

    Was curious about this as well... a quick google shows it's a new API in the works (see here) and only partially supported.

    A major component of many eye droppers, like those in design tools, is that they also show a preview swatch of the hovered color. You can use this to compare it to another swatch or quickly check a HEX code. The current API does not offer this over security concerns. We have filed an issue against the EyeDropper API on GitHub for this: #6 Live feedback is needed.
