How it works
The Image Color Picker lets you identify the exact color of any pixel in an uploaded image. Upload a photo, illustration, or screenshot, then click anywhere on the image. The tool reads the pixel value at that point and displays its hex code such as #3A7BD5 and RGB values such as R:58 G:123 B:213 instantly.
This is especially useful when you need to match a brand color from a logo, sample a color from a reference photo for use in a design, or identify what color code a specific shade in a UI screenshot corresponds to. No image data is sent to a server -- everything runs locally in the browser using the Canvas API.
Click multiple spots to compare different areas of the image. The displayed color swatch updates with each click so you can visually confirm the sampled color before copying the value into your design tool or stylesheet.
Worked example
Match a brand color from a company logo
- Upload the logo image (PNG or JPEG).
- Click on the area of the logo whose color you want to identify.
- Note the hex code shown in the output panel.
- Copy the hex code and paste it into your CSS or design file.
The exact hex color code for the brand color, ready to use in any design tool.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Clicking on a compressed JPEG and expecting a precise brand color -- use a PNG export of the logo for accurate results.
- Sampling an area that is anti-aliased or semi-transparent, which gives an averaged color rather than the pure intended color.
- Forgetting to copy the hex code before uploading a different image, causing the previous sample to be lost.
