About Image colour picker

Click anywhere on a photo and read the exact pixel colour as HEX, RGB and HSL. Designers use it to match a brand colour from a logo, a screenshot or a product shot. Zoom in before clicking, because compression and anti-aliased edges can shift a pixel's value.

How to use Image colour picker

  1. Open a photo in the tool.
  2. Click the spot whose colour you want.
  3. Copy the HEX, RGB or HSL value shown.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the picked colour differ from what I see?

Photos contain noise, JPEG compression and gradients, so neighbouring pixels differ slightly. Zoom in and click a flat area, or sample several spots, to get a colour that matches the visible shade.

Which format should I copy?

Use HEX for web design and CSS, RGB for screens and many apps, and HSL when you want to adjust lightness or saturation afterwards.

How do I pick a clean colour from a textured photo?

Click several nearby spots and compare them, because noise and shadows change each pixel. Choose the value that best matches the colour you want.
