Color picker guide

Color picker from image — how it works

A color picker from image lets you upload a photo or screenshot and read the exact pixel color under your cursor. This color picker with image support draws the file to a canvas in your browser—click anywhere to set HEX, RGB, and HSL values. Nothing is uploaded to a server.

Designers use a colour picker from photo files to match brand blues from logos, extract palette accents from mood boards, or sample UI colors from mockups. Developers grab hex codes from competitor sites without browser extensions.

Color finder from image vs color wheel picker

Color finder from image mode is for sampling reality: photographs, textures, scanned swatches. The color wheel picker tab builds colors mathematically with hue, saturation, and lightness sliders—better when you already know the hue you want.

Manual HEX entry accepts #RGB shorthand. All three modes stay in sync so you can refine a sampled color on the wheel afterward.

Color identifier and color detector

Think of the tool as a color identifier for digital files: it names the color in standard codes designers share. As a color detector, it reports the pixel you clicked— not printed paint names (Pantone matching still needs physical references).

For accessibility, compare contrast between a sampled foreground and background using your design app after copying CSS rgb() values from here.
