Why I Built Color Picker for my Google Sites Projects (Even Though I Didn’t Plan To)

Whenever I build templates, I’m constantly using a color picker.It’s just part of the process: tweaking buttons, backgrounds, borders, fonts, I’m always grabbing hex codes and matching brand colors.So naturally, I used a free Chrome extension for it.

Until things got weird.

One day I was working on a round-themed template in Google Sites, one of the premium ones available inside the extension.
Everything looked good… until I hit Publish.
🔴 Flagged by Google. Policy violation.I thought it was a bug with the site.
I rebuilt it.
Checked images, fonts, layout.
Removed widgets.
Nothing worked.

Still flagged.
I spent 8 hours trying to pinpoint the cause of the problem.Finally, I disabled all Chrome extensions in my browser, and the site published perfectly.Then, I re-enabled extensions one by one.
At first, I was thinking it was AdBlocker, or uBlockOrigin.
But surprise, the third-party color picker I’d grabbed from the Chrome store?
That was the problem.It was injecting weird stuff into my browser in the background. Not visible to me, but enough for Google to flag every site I tried to publish.That’s what caused the flag.
10 templates got auto-flagged for violation before I figured it out.That was the last straw.So yeah, I built color picker. One that’s safe, clean, and works perfectly with SitesBuddy.✅ It uses Google’s original color picker API
✅ Doesn’t inject anything weird in the background
✅ No chance of getting your Google Site flagged

Exactly how it should be.
