Why Knowing Fonts & Colors Matters

Professional websites look clean and consistent because they use:

  • Proper font combinations
  • Correct font sizes and spacing
  • Clean color palettes
  • Consistent brand colors

Instead of randomly choosing fonts and colors, you can analyze high-quality websites and apply similar principles to your own projects.

This is not about copying — it’s about learning from good design.


1) Find Any Website’s Font Using Font Ninja

Tool Name: Font Ninja

Cost: Free (Basic Version)

Font Ninja allows you to hover over any text on a website and instantly see:

  • Font name (Example: BW Modelica)
  • Font size
  • Font weight
  • Color code
  • Line height
  • Letter spacing

How to Install Font Ninja

  1. Open Google Chrome (recommended)

2) Pick Any Color from Any Website Using ColorZilla

Tool Name: ColorZilla

Cost: Free

ColorZilla gives you an eyedropper tool that lets you pick any color from a webpage.

It provides the exact HEX color code that you can copy and use in:

  • WordPress
  • Elementor
  • Gutenberg
  • CSS
  • Canva
  • Any design software

How to Install ColorZilla

  1. Go to Chrome Web Store

Now you have the exact same color.


Important Note

These extensions may not work properly in Incognito or Private browsing mode.

For best results:

  • Use normal browsing mode

Practical Example

Let’s say a client says:

“I like the style of this website.”

Instead of guessing:

  • Use Font Ninja to identify the font
  • Use ColorZilla to extract the color codes
  • Apply them in your WordPress theme or page builder

This saves time and makes your design more professional.
