Download and install Menu Color Palettes
Start the app and you should see a color-palette icon in your MenuBar. A left-click on this icon shows a popover where you can see your palettes, quit the app, open preferences or change the viewing settings.
Create palettes by clicking the "+" icon. Rename/delete palettes by right-clicking a palette. If you rename a palette make sure to close the view window first. View a palette by left-clicking.
Create colors by clicking the "+" icon. Edit/delete colors by right-clicking a color. Left-click to copy the color (Pro-Tip: hold CMD while left-clicking to prevent focusing the window). Change the format the color should be copied in with the "copy format" dropdown in the viewer window.
To import colors view the palette you want your colors to be imported to and click "Show import". Paste your code into the appropriate text-field
For FlatUIColors: Go to your FlatUIColors palette. Next view the page sourcecode (Process differs for different browsers) by right-clicking and choosing something like "view element" or "element information" or "view source". Then copy the HTML code of the div with the class "colors" - thats the code you have to paste into the text-field "FlatUIColors code".
Hold CMD while left-clicking on a color to prevent focusing the viewer window.
