A Site Palette alternative

What Site Palette does well, where PikSpec differs, and how to choose. We make PikSpec, so we have kept this to what each tool's own listing says.

In short: PikSpec is a free Chrome extension that covers what most people use Site Palette for and adds a full design system view (fonts, colours, spacing, radius and shadows) with exports as design tokens, a DESIGN.md and AI Kits. If you only want a quick, shareable colour palette of a site, Site Palette does that in a click.

Where PikSpec is different

PikSpec tells you what each colour is for (background, text, border, action) and how much of the page it covers, which is how you tell the brand colour from a one-off tint.

It exports the palette with the fonts, spacing and radii as one design system.
