What is a Color Picker?

A color picker is a design tool that helps you identify, select, and extract colors from images or choose colors manually. Our online color picker lets you upload images and use an eyedropper to sample any color, getting instant HEX, RGB, and HSL values for use in your designs.

Eyedropper Tool: Pick colors directly from any image.

Multiple Formats: Get HEX, RGB, HSL, and more.

Privacy First: Images are processed locally.

Who Uses This Tool?

Brand Designers

Extracting exact colors from brand assets

When creating style guides or extending a brand identity, designers upload logos and marketing materials to sample the precise HEX values used. This eliminates guesswork and ensures pixel-perfect color consistency across all new design deliverables.

Front-End Developers

Matching design mockup colors in CSS

Developers upload design screenshots and pick colors directly to get CSS-ready HEX and RGB values. This is faster and more accurate than eyeballing colors from a mockup, especially when design files are unavailable or in a tool the developer does not have access to.

Interior Decorators

Identifying paint colors from inspiration photos

Decorators upload photos from magazines, Pinterest boards, or client mood boards to extract exact color values. These values can then be matched to paint brand swatches or used to search for similar furnishing options online.

Social Media Managers

Maintaining visual consistency across posts

Social media managers sample colors from approved brand images to ensure every new graphic uses the identical palette. The color history feature lets them build a running list of approved colors for quick reference during content creation.

Pro Tips

1.
Zoom into the image before picking colors from small areas -- a single pixel can differ significantly from the perceived color of a larger region.
2.
Use the HSL format when you want to create lighter or darker variations of a picked color, since you can simply adjust the lightness value while keeping hue and saturation.
3.
For web accessibility, pair your picked color with a contrast checker to verify it meets WCAG AA or AAA standards against your background color.
4.
When sampling from photographs, pick from a mid-tone area of the color you want rather than a highlight or shadow, which will be tinted by lighting conditions.
