About Image Color Picker

The Image Color Picker lets you extract exact color values from any uploaded image using a precision eyedropper tool with a magnifying loupe. It also automatically analyses the image and extracts up to six dominant colors using the median-cut algorithm — giving you an instant color palette derived from the image's most representative hues. This is invaluable for designers who need to match brand colors from a logo, build a cohesive UI palette from a reference photo, or identify exact hex codes from a mockup screenshot. Once you pick or hover over a color, you can copy it instantly in HEX, RGB, or HSL format — the three formats used by virtually every design tool and CSS codebase. A pick history tracks the last 10 colors you clicked so you never lose a value. Because the tool renders the image to a Canvas element and reads pixel data directly, results are pixel-accurate and processing is instant. No image data is transmitted to any external service.

How to Use Image Color Picker

  1. Drag and drop an image onto the upload area, or click to browse for a file (JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, SVG).
  2. Move your mouse over the image — a circular magnifying loupe will appear showing a zoomed-in view of the area under the cursor.
  3. Click anywhere on the image to pick the color at that pixel. The HEX, RGB, and HSL values appear in the color panel on the right.
  4. Click the "Copy" button next to any color format to copy it to your clipboard.
  5. Review the automatically extracted dominant colors shown below the pick history — click any swatch to copy its HEX value.
  6. Click "Change image" to load a different image and repeat the process.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the color picker?

The picker reads the exact pixel color from the browser's Canvas API, which is accurate to 8 bits per channel (0–255 per R/G/B). It is as precise as the image resolution allows.

What is the dominant color palette?

The tool samples the image and uses a median-cut algorithm to find up to 6 colors that best represent the image's overall color distribution — similar to the palette extraction used by design tools like Adobe Kuler.

Can I pick colors from a screenshot?

Yes. Simply paste your screenshot into an image editing app to save it as a file, then upload it here. Alternatively, take a screenshot and save it — all common image formats are supported.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. The image is drawn to an HTML Canvas element in your browser and pixel data is read locally. Nothing is sent to any server.

Why does the color look slightly different than expected?

Your monitor's color profile and gamma settings can affect how colors are displayed. For critical color matching, calibrate your monitor and verify values in your design tool.
