OmniDev vs ColorZilla: The Modern ColorZilla Alternative with Design Token Drift Detection
ColorZilla has been a staple eyedropper for years, but modern UI engineering requires more than sampling a single pixel. OmniDev combines a magnifying Color Picker, full-page Color Spy Palette, visual CSS Gradient Generator, Box Shadow Editor, WCAG Contrast Checker, and Design Drift Inspector.
