Ever spotted the perfect colour in a photo, screenshot, or brand mockup and wished you could grab its exact value? An image colour picker turns any picture into a colour source: hover, click, and you have the precise HEX and RGB ready to paste into your design or code.
How an image colour picker works
The tool draws your image onto a canvas and reads the individual pixel under your cursor. Each pixel stores red, green and blue channel values from 0 to 255, which combine into the colour you see. When you click, it captures those values and shows them as both a HEX code and an RGB triple.
Extracting a colour palette
Beyond single pixels, the tool samples across the whole image and groups similar colours together, then surfaces the most frequent ones as a dominant palette. This is perfect for building a colour scheme that matches a photo or for reverse-engineering a brand’s look.
- Click any pixel to capture its exact colour
- Copy as HEX (#3b6cff) or RGB (59, 108, 255)
- Get an auto-extracted palette of the image’s dominant colours
- Everything runs locally — your photo is never uploaded
