The css chrome dev tool you didnt know of

Did you know that chrome dev tools has a css overview panel to identify flaws inside your css?

Edit:

You may first need to enable that feature because its an experimental feature.

  • First open your Dev-Tools settings(the ⚙️ on the right or Press F1)
  • Go to Experimental
  • here you should find the checkbox "CSS Overview" Image description

You can find it when you open your dev-tools in chrome (F12) and than More options() More > More tools > CSS Overview.

Here you can get an high level overview of you page's css

In the colors section you can see all the colors you used and it even indicates bad contrasts in your css.

I hope you learned something just as i did =)

Yes on windows it is the same. You maybe need to activate it in devtools under experimental functions.
