How do I pick the exact colour at a point in an image?
Upload your image and move the crosshair over any pixel you are interested in. The tool reads the red, green and blue values directly from the canvas and shows the equivalent HEX, RGB and HSL strings. Click to lock the colour so you can copy the values without losing them. A small magnifier shows individual pixels under the cursor, which makes it possible to pick a specific shade even when colours are very close together.
Why does the picked colour sometimes look different from what I see?
Browsers display colours after applying the system colour profile, so what you see on screen is slightly transformed from the raw pixel data. The picker reads the underlying RGB values, which is the right thing to do for design work because those values are what end up in your CSS or design file. If colour accuracy matters, use a calibrated monitor and pick a few neighbouring pixels to see how much the chosen value varies across an area.
Can I pick colours from a screenshot or web page?
Yes. Take a screenshot using your operating system, drop the resulting PNG onto the tool, and you can click any pixel to read its colour. Some browsers also offer a native eye dropper that works directly on the live page, but uploading a screenshot is the most reliable cross browser approach. The advantage is that you can zoom in to find the exact pixel, which is hard to do with the native picker on small UI elements.
Does the picker support colours other than RGB?
Yes. Each picked colour is shown as HEX, RGB, HSL and CMYK at the same time. CMYK is calculated from the RGB value and is intended as a quick reference for print rather than a colour managed conversion. The HSL values are useful when you want to nudge the hue or lightness afterwards, since changing one component is more intuitive in HSL than in RGB. All four representations can be copied with a single click.
Can I pick more than one colour and build a list?
Yes. Each click adds the picked colour to a history strip beneath the image. You can pick as many colours as you like, remove individual entries you do not want, and copy the full list as CSS variables or JSON. This turns the picker into a quick way to assemble a custom palette from one or more images, especially when combined with the average colour and palette extractor tools on this page.
Is my image uploaded anywhere when I use the picker?
No. The picker reads pixels directly from the image element in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, so private artwork, screenshots of internal tools and confidential photographs are safe to use. The only data that leaves the browser is whatever you choose to copy and paste somewhere else. You can refresh the page at any time to discard the image and the colour history if you want to clear everything quickly.
