Extract hex, RGB, and HSL color codes from any image. Build custom palettes with a simple click. No signup needed.
Hex (#FF5733) is the most common web format - 6 characters representing red, green, and blue channels. RGB (rgb(255, 87, 51)) uses decimal values 0-255 for each channel and is standard in CSS. HSL (hsl(11, 100%, 60%)) describes hue, saturation, and lightness - the most intuitive format for adjusting colors. All three produce the same color; choose based on your workflow.
Upload a reference photo (a landscape, product shot, or design inspiration), then click different areas to sample colors. Add each color to your palette using the "Add to Palette" button. Aim for 5-7 colors: a primary, secondary, accent, and neutral tones. Copy all hex values at once for use in your design tool, CSS, or brand guidelines.
Need to match a client's exact brand color? Upload their logo and click on the colored areas. The eyedropper gives you the precise hex code - no more guessing "is that #1DA1F2 or #1A91DA?" This is especially useful when recreating designs, matching print materials, or building style guides.
Designers can extract colors from mockups, screenshots, and reference images directly in the browser - no need for Photoshop or a standalone color picker app. The tool outputs CSS-ready values (hex, rgb, hsl) that you can paste directly into your stylesheet. Works with JPG, PNG, and WebP files.
Every pixel you click returns three standard color representations:
Upload a company logo, click the primary color areas, and get the exact hex codes used. This is the fastest way to reverse-engineer a brand palette when you need to match existing colors in CSS or design software. Click on multiple points of the same color to confirm consistency — slightly different pixel values can indicate antialiasing or compression artifacts.
Upload a photograph with your desired color mood — a sunset, a nature scene, a product photo — and click the most visually dominant areas. Add each color to the palette using the "Add to Palette" button. This technique, called color sampling from reference images, is widely used in UI/UX design and illustration to create cohesive, naturalistic color schemes. Export all hex values with one click for use in your design tool.
No. The color picker runs entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your image is loaded directly into memory and drawn to a canvas element on your screen — it never leaves your device. There is no server upload, no storage, and no account needed.
