About
The Color Picker from Image lets you upload any image and sample the color of any pixel by clicking on it. It displays the picked color as HEX, RGB, and HSL values, and shows individual R, G, and B channel bars for a quick visual breakdown. Use it for extracting brand colors from screenshots, matching colors in designs, or identifying exact color values from photographs.
How to use
- 1 Drag and drop an image onto the upload area, or click to browse.
- 2 Click anywhere on the displayed image to sample that pixel's color.
- 3 The HEX, RGB, and HSL values appear in the panel on the right.
- 4 Click any value to copy it to your clipboard.
- What color formats does the picker output?
- The picker outputs HEX (e.g. #3B82F6), RGB (e.g. rgb(59, 130, 246)), and HSL (e.g. hsl(217, 91%, 60%)). HEX is the most common format for web design and CSS. RGB is useful for design tools and mathematical color operations. HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is the most intuitive for humans — adjusting lightness or saturation without changing the hue is straightforward in HSL.
- Is my image uploaded to a server?
- No. The image is loaded directly into your browser using the FileReader API and drawn onto an HTML5 Canvas element. All pixel sampling is done locally in JavaScript — your image never leaves your device. This makes it safe to use with confidential screenshots, design mockups, or any private imagery.
- Why does the picked color look slightly different from what I see on screen?
- Color picker tools sample the raw pixel data from the image file. If your display uses a wide color gamut (P3 or Rec. 2020) or has color calibration applied, the on-screen appearance may differ slightly from the sRGB values in the file. Additionally, JPEG compression can alter pixel colors slightly from the original. For exact brand color extraction, use PNG or lossless source files.
