Colour Picker From Image
Pick a colour from any point in an image and get its code.
Sampling a colour from a picture
Sometimes you need the exact colour of a particular spot in an image — a colour from a photo, a logo, a design. This lets you pick a colour from any point in an image and gives its code, in your browser, so the image stays on your device.
Add an image and pick a point to get its colour.
Why sampling beats guessing
Getting a colour by eye is unreliable — screens and perception fool you, and matching a colour by guessing its values rarely lands exactly. Sampling the actual pixel gives you the precise colour that is really there, which is what you need to match a brand colour, extract a shade from a photo to build a palette around, or identify a colour you like in a design. The code it returns, in the standard formats, drops straight into design tools and stylesheets. This is a constant small need in design and web work, where colours must match precisely rather than approximately. Doing it in the browser means even a private image — a client's artwork, a personal photo — is sampled locally without being uploaded, so you get the exact colour you need while keeping the image entirely on your own device.
Common questions
Why sample a colour instead of guessing it?
Because screens and perception fool the eye, so guessing colour values rarely matches exactly — sampling the actual pixel gives the precise colour that is really there.
What is it useful for?
Matching a brand colour, extracting a shade from a photo to build a palette, or identifying a colour in a design, with a code ready for design tools.
Is my image uploaded?
No. The sampling happens in your browser, so the image stays on your device.
