About Image Color Picker

Identifying exact colour values from an image is a common task for designers, developers, and anyone who needs to match colours across digital assets. This colour picker lets you click any pixel in an uploaded image to get its precise HEX, RGB, and HSL values.

Unlike browser developer tools that only work on web page elements, this tool works on any image you upload — product photos, brand assets, screenshots, artwork, or any other image file.

All colour picking runs in your browser using the Canvas API — your images never leave your device.

How to Use Image Color Picker

1. Upload an image or paste an image URL.
2. Click anywhere on the image to pick that colour.
3. The HEX, RGB, and HSL values for the clicked colour are displayed instantly.
4. Copy any colour format with the Copy button.

Common Use Cases

• Brand colour extraction: Extract exact colour codes from brand logo files to use in CSS, design tools, and style guides.
• Matching colours across assets: Pick colours from one image to match them exactly in another design or in CSS.
• Creating colour palettes: Extract a palette of dominant or accent colours from a photograph or artwork for use in design projects.
• CSS colour matching: Get the HEX or RGB value of a colour in a design mockup to implement it accurately in code.
• Accessibility checking: Extract foreground and background colours to calculate contrast ratios for WCAG accessibility compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What colour formats does it return?

The tool returns the picked colour in HEX (#RRGGBB), RGB (r, g, b), and HSL (h, s%, l%) formats simultaneously. Copy whichever format your design tool or code requires.

How accurate is the colour picking?

The tool picks the exact pixel colour using the Canvas API, which reads the actual pixel RGBA values. The accuracy is pixel-perfect for images without lossy compression artefacts. For JPG images, nearby pixels may have slightly different values due to compression.

Can I pick colours from web pages?

This tool works with uploaded images only. For picking colours from live web pages, use your browser's built-in developer tools colour picker or a browser extension like ColorZilla.
