Pinpoint the Exact Color Code
When a client sends you a logo file but doesn't provide the brand guidelines, you cannot guess the colors. Our Online Color Picker functions like the Photoshop Eyedropper tool right in your browser. Upload an image, magnify the canvas, and click any pixel to instantly copy its exact HEX, RGB, or HSL value to your clipboard.
Essential for Front-End Developers
Precision is mandatory when converting a design mockup into functioning CSS:
- The HEX Code: The standard format for web design (e.g., `#FF5733`). It is a base-16 representation of the Red, Green, and Blue channels. You need this exact 6-character code for your CSS `color` or `background-color` properties.
- RGB / RGBA: Useful when you need to manipulate the opacity of a color in CSS using the Alpha channel (e.g., `rgba(255, 87, 51, 0.5)` for 50% transparency).
- Compression Artifacts: Beware of heavily compressed JPEGs. JPEG compression creates "noise" around edges. If you pick a pixel near a border, you might grab a muddy, artifacted color instead of the pure logo color. Zoom in closely to find a pure block of pixels.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the color slightly different than the original website?
If you take a screenshot of a website on a Mac with an active 'True Tone' or 'Night Shift' display profile, the screenshot captures the altered, warmer colors, not the raw CSS code. Always inspect the element or use the original logo file.
Can I pick colors from a CMYK print file?
The tool processes images in RGB color space (which is how your monitor displays light). If you upload a CMYK print profile image, the browser will automatically convert it to RGB, meaning the HEX code might shift slightly from the ink values.
Does the magnifier average the pixels?
By default, the tool selects the exact 1x1 pixel under your cursor. In high-resolution photos with a lot of noise, you may need to click several times to find the average mid-tone.
