Image Color Picker

What Is an Image Color Picker?

This free image color picker lets you upload any image and click on any pixel to instantly extract its color — returning the HEX code, RGB values, and HSL values simultaneously. Whether you are a designer trying to match a color from a photo, a developer identifying brand colors from a screenshot, or a content creator sampling colors for a palette — this image color picker gives you precise color codes in one click.

Unlike most online image color pickers, this tool runs entirely in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to any server, never stored, and never shared. Complete privacy — the image stays on your device the entire time.

HEX, RGB, and HSL — What Is the Difference?

• HEX (#RRGGBB): The most widely used color format in web design. Used in HTML, CSS, and virtually every design tool. Example: #38bdf8 is a sky blue.
• RGB (Red, Green, Blue): Specifies color as three values from 0–255 representing the intensity of red, green, and blue. Used in CSS (rgb() function), image editing software, and digital displays. Example: rgb(56, 189, 248).
• HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness): A more human-intuitive color model. Hue is the color angle (0–360°), saturation is the intensity (0–100%), lightness is the brightness (0–100%). Useful in CSS for creating color variations. Example: hsl(199, 92%, 60%).
