UPDATE: As @tank answers below, Chrome version 77 added "Copy Styles" when you right-click on an element in the devtools inspector.

Using Javascript worked best for me. Here's how I did it:

1. Open Chrome DevTools console.

2. Paste this dumpCSSText function from this stack overflow answer into the console, and hit Enter:

   function dumpCSSText(element){
     var s = '';
     var o = getComputedStyle(element);
     for(var i = 0; i < o.length; i++){
       s+=o[i] + ':' + o.getPropertyValue(o[i])+';';
     }
     return s;
   }
   

3. When using Chrome, you can inspect an element and access it in the console with the $0 variable. Chrome also has a copy command, so use this command to copy ALL the css of the inspected element:

   copy(dumpCSSText($0));
   

4. Paste your CSS wherever you like!
