How to use Image Color Picker

  1. Choose an image from your device.

  2. Click or tap a point on the image to pick its color, or choose one of the automatic palette colors.

  3. Copy the HEX, RGB or HSL code you need.

Picking accurate colors

This tool reads the average of a small group of pixels around the point you click, not a single pixel, so noise in the photo doesn’t affect it. Because photos contain shadows and reflections, a color that looks like “one color” often consists of many values; pick several points and choose the one that represents it best.

Dominant color palette

The palette is built by grouping similar pixels, then choosing the largest groups whose colors are different enough from each other. The result can be a starting point for a color scheme for a design, a presentation or a brand. Use the Color Converter tool to change the format or check text contrast.

Questions about Image Color Picker

How do I get a color code from an image?

Choose an image, then click or tap the point you want. The HEX, RGB and HSL codes for the color at that point appear right away and can be copied.

Why do colors at different spots on the same object look different?

Lighting, shadows and reflections make the pixels on a single object vary. Try several points, or use the dominant palette, which sums up the image’s main colors.

What is the screen eyedropper (EyeDropper)?

A built-in feature of some browsers (such as Chrome and Edge) for picking a color from anywhere on the screen, including other apps. The button only appears if your browser supports it.

Is my image uploaded?

No. The image is only read in your browser.
