About the Color Picker

The Color Picker extracts colors from any pixel of an uploaded image and reports them in HEX, RGB and HSL. It is useful for matching brand colors, generating palettes from screenshots, and identifying dominant tones in product photography.

How to use it

Upload an image or paste a screenshot.
Click anywhere on the image to read that pixel's color value.
Switch between HEX, RGB and HSL output formats.

Tips

Sample multiple pixels to build a cohesive palette rather than relying on a single accent.
For accessibility, pair your chosen color with a contrasting foreground; aim for a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for body text.

Privacy

Color sampling happens locally; images are not uploaded.

Matching a precise color between a design, a brand guide and a stylesheet is one of the most repetitive tasks in web work. A color picker lets you select any shade visually and instantly tells you its exact hexadecimal, RGB and HSL values, so you can copy the exact code your CSS, image or document needs.

Because color values are recorded for you, there is no squinting at eyedroppers or guessing between sRGB and hex notation — what you pick is exactly what you get, ready to paste into a stylesheet, a design tool or a brand asset.

How to Pick a Color

Pick a color from the palette or adjust it precisely.
Read the hex, RGB and HSL values the tool reports.
Copy the format your project uses.

Practical Use Cases

Match an existing brand or image color to the precise value your CSS needs, choose and export accessible shades for charts, maps or data visuals, document colors for client handoffs or design specs, and experiment with harmonious palettes before committing them to a design. It is the fastest bridge from what looks right to the exact value a machine needs.

Color picker — common questions

What color formats can I read from the picker?

The picker reports the color in hexadecimal (hex**, RGB and HSL — the three formats CSS and design tools use most — so you can copy whichever your project expects.

Can I match a color from an existing image or logo?

Use the tool to home in on the nearest shade visually, then read its values. For pixel-exact matching of an image, pair the picker with an eyedropper utility to grab the source color first.

Are hex and RGB just different ways of writing the same color?

Yes. Hexadecimal and RGB are two notations for the same RGB color, while HSL describes that color by hue, saturation and lightness instead — each format suits a different workflow.
