Click Copy Color. The colors you used stay in the history so you can compare and reuse them.
Want the exact color of a logo, a piece of clothing in a photo or a reference website? Upload the image and click on it: the color picker reads that pixel and shows the code instantly. The image is only opened in your browser, with no upload, so it is safe to use with client materials and internal files.
To be accurate on textured or shaded areas, click a few nearby points and compare the results in the history. Heavily compressed photos, such as images forwarded many times through messaging apps, can show small color differences between neighbouring pixels.
When building a palette, start from one main color and create variants by changing only the lightness in HSL; that way the shades belong together. For text, check the contrast with the background: light text on a light background is hard to read, especially on phones and outdoors.
Also keep in mind that screen and paper colors are not identical. If the design is going to print, check the CMYK values and ask the printer for a color proof when you can, because different monitors display the same RGB code slightly differently.
Upload the image on this page and click the spot you want. The color code appears as HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV and CMYK.
Type the HEX code into its field and switch the format to RGB. The conversion is instant and also works the other way round.
Yes. Select CMYK as the color format to see the cyan, magenta, yellow and black percentages of the chosen shade.
No. The image is only opened in your browser to read its pixels.
RGB mixes red, green and blue light and is used on screens. CMYK mixes cyan, magenta, yellow and black inks and is used in print. That is why some very bright screen colors cannot be printed exactly the same.
Yes. The color picker works in phone and tablet browsers; tap the image to pick a color.
