What Is an Image Color Picker?

An Image Color Picker is an online tool that reads the exact color of any pixel in a picture. You upload an image, move your mouse over it, click on the spot you like, and the tool shows the color in HEX, RGB and HSL. Designers and developers use it to match brand colors, copy shades from a photo, or collect colors for a website or app. Our tool works fully in your browser, so your image is never uploaded to any server.
