Image Color Picker
Pick a colour from any image and read its HEX, RGB and HSL
Load an image, click anywhere on it, and read the HEX, RGB and HSL value of that exact pixel, with your last few picks kept as swatches to compare. The image is decoded and read entirely in your browser.
Choose an image to start picking colours.

What this tool does
Matching a colour from a photo or a screenshot usually means a round trip through separate software. This tool draws the image onto a canvas the moment you choose it and reads back the pixel under your click, so the value on screen is the value the file actually stores rather than something eyeballed. Recent picks stay on screen as swatches so you can compare two spots — a background and a logo, say — without losing the first one.
How to use it
- Choose a JPG, PNG or WebP image.
- Click anywhere on the image to read that pixel's colour.
- Copy the HEX, RGB or HSL value, or click a recent swatch to bring it back.
Privacy
This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your input is never uploaded, stored or shared — closing the tab removes it.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the image uploaded anywhere?
- No. It is decoded and drawn to a canvas by your own browser, and the pixel colour is read from that canvas. The file never leaves your device.
- Why does the colour look slightly different from the file I sourced it from?
- The canvas reads the colour as your browser has decoded and rendered it, which for most JPG, PNG and WebP files matches the stored value exactly. Images carrying an unusual colour profile can shift by a shade after decoding.
- How many recent picks are kept?
- The last ten distinct colours, most recent first. Picking a repeated colour moves it back to the front instead of adding a duplicate.
