You can modify the color value or the transparency inside the color picker's popup. This extension stores the last six selected colors and represents the color in HEX, RGBA, HSVA, HSLA, and CMYK formats. You can press a button to copy the vcurrent color value into the clipboard. Features: Uses the native eyedropper tool that works outside the browser Automatically copies the selected color to the clipboard Has an advanced color editing interface Get a readable color based on the selected background color Usage: Image Files: If you want to grab a color from an image, open the image either on a browser tab or use a native image viewer (e.g., Adobe Photoshop), then press the "Eyedropper" icon on the popup to activate the global color picker. Video Files: If you want to grab the color of an object inside a video stream, try to play the video and seek forward to the frame, then pause and use the eyedropper tool to capture the pixel's color. If your browser supports the format, you can drop it into a browser tab.

I just tried this extension, but it has one unfortunate flaw. When I click on a clickable icon element in order to pick up the colour, instead of simply picking up the colour, it also triggers the left-click on that icon. That's too annoying for me, so for that reason, I am OUT.
