Image Color Picker (Eyedropper Tool)

Drop an image, click anywhere, get the exact RGB / hex / HSL color of that pixel. Useful for matching brand colors from a logo, extracting colors from a screenshot, or building a palette from any reference image. Image never leaves your browser.

How to use the Image Color Picker (Eyedropper Tool)

Upload an image. Click anywhere on it to pick a color. The result shows hex, RGB, HSL, and a swatch.

Picking exact colors from any image

Sometimes the color you need exists only inside an image — a brand blue locked in a logo, an accent shade in a screenshot, a tone from a photograph you want to echo in a design. Reading it by eye is guesswork; you need the exact value the pixel holds.

This eyedropper loads your image onto a canvas and reports the precise color of whatever pixel you click, in hex, RGB, and HSL at once. The image stays in your browser, nothing uploads. Once you have a value, build a full palette around it with the palette generator or check text contrast with the contrast checker.

Common use cases

  • Brand matching — pull the exact hex of a color locked inside a logo.
  • Palette building — sample several colors from a reference photo.
  • Screenshot inspection — read a pixel's value from a UI capture.
  • Design handoff — get precise RGB and HSL values to pass to developers.
  • Recreating a look — match a tone from an image in your own design.

Frequently asked questions

What formats does it report?

Hex, RGB, and HSL for every pixel you click, along with a visible swatch of the picked color.

Does my image upload anywhere?

No. It is drawn onto a canvas in your browser and read locally; the file never leaves your device.

Can I build a palette from the colors I pick?

Yes — take a picked hex into the color palette generator to build a full scheme around it.

Why is the picked color slightly different from the source?

Images compressed as JPEG can shift pixel values slightly. Sample a few nearby pixels if a flat area looks uneven.
