Image Color Picker

Pick HEX colors from uploaded images.

Use the tool

Use Image Color Picker when a screenshot, logo, mockup, or uploaded asset contains a color you need to reuse accurately.

Pick color from image

Upload image, click any pixel, and copy HEX, RGB, or HSL values.

Why use Image Color Picker

  • Extract HEX and RGB values from logos, screenshots, product images, and design references.
  • Match a brand color from an image when the original design file is unavailable.
  • Check UI colors before moving a mockup into CSS, Tailwind, or design tokens.
  • Build a small palette from real visual assets instead of guessing from memory.

About this tool

Color picking for web design

Image Color Picker is built for designers and developers who need the exact color under a cursor. It turns visual references into copy-ready color values for CSS, UI kits, and design reviews.

Accurate HEX and RGB extraction

A single image may contain anti-aliased edges, shadows, compression artifacts, and gradients. Pick several nearby pixels when you need a representative brand or UI color.

From image to implementation

After choosing a color, test it against nearby text, background, and accessibility requirements. A visually accurate color can still fail contrast or clash with the rest of a design system.

Example usage

Input

Upload landing-page.png and sample the CTA button

Output

HEX #2563EB, RGB 37, 99, 235

Practical guide for Image Color Picker

Best practices

  • Use high-quality PNG or source screenshots when accuracy matters.
  • Sample multiple pixels around edges, shadows, and gradients before choosing a final value.
  • Check contrast before using a picked color for text or controls.

Common mistakes

  • Sampling from JPEG artifacts instead of the intended flat color.
  • Copying a shadow or anti-aliased edge instead of the main fill.
  • Assuming monitor appearance and pixel data are always the same thing.

FAQ

Can I pick colors from a screenshot?

Yes. Upload a screenshot and sample the exact pixel color you need, then copy the HEX or RGB value into your design or code workflow.

Why does the color differ from my brand guide?

Screenshots, JPEG compression, shadows, transparency, and display color profiles can shift the sampled pixel away from the official brand color.

Should I use one sampled pixel for a gradient?

No. Sample several points or use a palette workflow because gradients and shadows contain many different colors.

Can developers use the picked color in CSS?

Yes. Copy the HEX or RGB value into CSS, Tailwind config, design tokens, or documentation after checking contrast.
