In short: An image color picker reads the exact pixel color wherever you click on an image and gives its HEX, RGB and HSL codes; it can also extract the image’s dominant colors as a palette.
About Image Color Picker
Matching a brand color from a logo, reusing a color from a photo in a design, or checking what gray a screenshot really uses all need the exact pixel value. Click the image and you get its color in HEX, RGB and HSL, ready to paste into CSS, Figma or any design tool.
The palette is calculated with a simple color-quantization step over a downscaled copy of the image, grouping similar colors and ranking them by how much of the picture they cover. Pixel values are read from the image exactly as decoded by your browser; color-managed images (for example wide-gamut photos) may differ slightly from what a design app reports.
How to use Image Color Picker
- Choose an image, drop it, or paste a screenshot.
- Hover to preview and click to lock a color.
- Copy the HEX or RGB value, or click a palette swatch.
Examples
Click the colored part of a logo PNG to get, for example, #2F6BFF / rgb(47, 107, 255).
A beach photo gives sand, sea and sky tones as a palette for a matching website theme.
Frequently asked questions
Why do nearby pixels have different values?
Photos, JPG compression and anti-aliased edges create many slightly different colors. Click the middle of a flat area, or use the palette for typical colors.
Can I pick colors from my screen?
Paste a screenshot (Ctrl/⌘+V) and pick from it. Some browsers also support an eyedropper in color inputs.
Does it support transparent images?
Yes. Fully transparent pixels are reported as transparent and ignored in the palette.
Is my image uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser. You can check this yourself: open your browser’s developer tools, switch to the Network tab and use the tool — no request carries your input.
