Color Picker
Pick, preview, and convert colors between HEX, RGB, and HSL — or extract from an image.
How to Use Color Picker
Our Color Picker gives you several ways to land on the exact color you need. Use the color wheel to visually pick a shade, or type a value directly into the HEX, RGB, or HSL text inputs — all three formats stay perfectly synced, so updating one instantly updates the other two along with the live preview swatch. If you already have an image with a color you want to match, use the 'Pick from image' upload option: after uploading a photo, the tool reads the pixel data using the Canvas API and extracts the dominant color automatically, giving you its exact HEX, RGB, and HSL values without needing any external color-matching software. Once you've settled on a color, the tool also displays a set of complementary colors calculated from your chosen shade, which is useful for building a quick color palette for a design project. Every value comes with its own copy button, so you can grab exactly the format you need — HEX for CSS, RGB for a design tool, or HSL for fine-tuning lightness and saturation — without retyping anything. All color math and image analysis happen entirely in your browser using the Canvas API, so uploaded images are never sent to a server.
Why Use Our Color Picker?
Designers and developers constantly need to convert colors between formats or match a color from an existing image, and doing this manually with a color theory reference is slow and error-prone. Our tool keeps all three major color formats synchronized in real time, so you can think in whichever format is most natural for your current task and instantly get the others. The image color extraction feature is especially valuable for matching a brand color from a logo or photo without needing design software installed. Automatically generated complementary colors give you a quick starting palette without consulting a separate color theory tool. Because image processing happens locally via the Canvas API, you can safely upload personal or proprietary images without worrying about them being uploaded to a third-party server. It's completely free, has no watermarks, and the one-click copy buttons make it fast to move a color value directly into your code editor or design tool.
