Image Color Picker

Click any point of an image to get its color as HEX, RGB and HSL, and see the image's main colors.

How the Image Color Picker works

Choose an image and click or tap any point. The color of that pixel is shown as HEX, RGB and HSL, each with a copy button. For an exact position, type the X and Y coordinates instead.

The tool also lists the image's main colors with the share of the picture each one covers. Similar shades are grouped — pixels are sorted into 4,096 color groups and close groups are merged — so you get a usable palette rather than thousands of near-identical values. Select a main color to see its codes.

Examples

Matching a brand color

Open a logo, click the colored area and copy the HEX code, for example #FF6B00, into your design tool or CSS.

A palette from a photo

In an image that is three-quarters red and one-quarter blue, the main colors are #FF0000 at 75% and #0000FF at 25%. Fully transparent pixels are ignored.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the color slightly different from what I expected?

JPG compression and anti-aliased edges blend neighbouring pixels, so a pixel near an edge is a mix. Click in the middle of a flat area, or use a main color, which averages similar pixels.

What do HEX, RGB and HSL mean?

Three ways to write the same color. RGB gives red, green and blue from 0 to 255; HEX is the same numbers in base 16; HSL gives hue, saturation and lightness, which is easier to adjust by hand.

Are large photos sampled exactly?

Images wider or taller than 1,600 px are scaled down to that size for picking, so X and Y refer to the scaled picture. Colors are unaffected for practical purposes.
