ColorZilla is a color picker that can be used for small or large purposes. In its simplest form, ColorZilla is an eyedropper tool that you can use on any page you're on.

But who has time to learn and re-learn the ever changing trends and ideas behind good typography? With the new Typography Manual app, no one has too.
