Pick colors from any point of an image. Sample exact HEX/RGB/HSL colors directly from any image pixel. Extract brand colors from a logo, palette or reference photo. A copyable color code plus an optional palette of dominant colors.

All processing happens locally in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to any server.

User Guide

How to use this tool

The Image Color Picker samples the exact color of any pixel in an image and reports it in HEX, RGB and HSL formats. Designers use it to extract brand palettes from mood boards; developers use it to match CSS values to reference designs; content creators use it to keep social graphics on-brand.

How to use it

Drop an image onto the upload zone. The image renders inside an interactive canvas — hover to see coordinates, click anywhere to sample. The picked color appears as a swatch alongside its HEX, RGB, and HSL codes. Click any value to copy it to your clipboard.

Every color you sample is stored in the History strip below (up to 12 recent picks), so you can build a palette from several sample points across the image without losing earlier picks.

  • Pixel-accurate color sampling on click
  • HEX, RGB and HSL simultaneous readout
  • One-click copy for every value
  • Palette history of the last 12 sampled colors

Practical uses

When translating a Figma or hand-drawn mockup into CSS, sample the dominant hues directly from the mockup instead of eyeballing them. This eliminates the "close but not quite" feeling that creeps into hand-typed color values.

For photographers building color-graded social feeds, sample five hues from your best-performing photo and reuse them as accent colors across text, borders and backgrounds in future posts to build a coherent visual identity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are colors color-managed?

Values are read from the raw sRGB canvas; we do not apply ICC color management.

Can I copy multiple colors?

Shift-click to add multiple colors to a saved palette.

What color formats are shown?

The tool displays HEX, RGB, HSL, and HSV values simultaneously. Click any value to copy it to your clipboard in the format you need.

How accurate is the color picker?

It reads the exact pixel value from the decoded image at your zoom level. Zoom in for sub-pixel precision on edges and gradients.

Can I save a palette of picked colors?

Yes. Every color you click is added to a palette strip below the image. Copy them all at once or export as CSS variables.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes. This tool is completely free with no sign-up, no watermarks, and no daily limits. All processing runs locally in your browser.

Is the sampled color exact?

Yes at the resolution the image is displayed. For giant images the display may be downscaled slightly, but color values remain accurate.

Can I sample a range and get an average color?

Not yet. Sample multiple points and eyeball an average, or use a dedicated palette-extraction tool.
