Tips for Accurate Color Picking
Zoom for Precision
Use the magnifier to pick exact pixel colors, especially in detailed areas with subtle color variations.
Choosing the Right Format
HEX is standard for web design, RGB for screens, HSL for intuitive color adjustments, and CMYK for print production.
Color History
Every color you pick is saved to the history panel. Click any swatch to recall its values — great for comparing colors side by side.
Image Quality Matters
Upload high-resolution images for more accurate results. Heavily compressed images may display colors that differ from the original.
Common Use Cases
Pick exact colors from mockups, screenshots, or reference images to match your design system.
Extract brand colors from logos or marketing materials for consistent use across projects.
Sample colors from reference photos to build accurate palettes for digital painting or illustration.
Identify dominant colors and tones in photographs for editing or color grading.
Match colors from inspiration photos to find paint, fabric, or material options.
Extract foreground and background colors from screenshots to verify contrast ratios meet accessibility standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens entirely in your browser. Your images never leave your device.
What image formats are supported?
You can upload PNG, JPEG, and WebP images.
How accurate are the color values?
The values are read directly from the image pixels displayed in your browser. For the most accurate results, use uncompressed or lightly compressed images.
Can I pick colors from any part of the image?
Yes. Click anywhere on the uploaded image to pick the color at that exact pixel. The magnifier helps you target precise areas.
What is the difference between RGB and CMYK?
RGB (Red, Green, Blue) is used for screens and digital displays. CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) is used for printing. The same color may appear slightly different between the two systems.
Can I use the picked colors in my own projects?
Color values (HEX, RGB, etc.) are universal and not subject to copyright restrictions. However, if you are extracting colors from copyrighted images, please ensure you have the appropriate rights to use those images as reference material.
