From image to color value
Pick useful colors without guessing
A photo color picker reads the pixel at the point you select and translates it into a color name and formats such as HEX, RGB, HSL, and CMYK. Gallery images are useful for screenshots, artwork, and saved references, while camera images connect the same workflow to objects and scenes around you.
Image results depend on the source. Lighting, white balance, texture, reflections, and compression can all change nearby pixels. The guides below explain precise selection, camera limitations, and the features that help you compare, save, and reuse a result.
