That works so great !!
I need to do some tests on color spaces, but this is already a huge step.

Thanks Patrick

Looks like electron 16 alpha, uses Chrome 96. I'll do some tests on it.

I'm currently working on it, but I have some difficulties to migrate from Electron v12 to v16.
But my initial test with the EyeDropper api was successfull.
The only issue with it is that it is not movable using the keyboard (yet?)

possibly worth filing a bug/request for chrome (and then any other browser that implements it)

edit: there's this already https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1141519
