What Is an Image Color Picker?

An eyedropper that samples colours from a real image is the fastest way to match a brand colour, lift a palette from a photo, or grab the precise shade buried in a screenshot. Guessing by eye is unreliable; reading the pixel is exact.

This tool draws your image onto a canvas, then reads the pixel under your cursor with getImageData when you click. That returns the literal red, green, and blue bytes, which it formats three ways — HEX for CSS, RGB for editors, and HSL for hue-based tweaks — each copyable with a single click.

You can keep sampling to build a swatch list, useful for extracting a whole palette from a single image. Because the canvas reads pixels locally, the picker works on any photo, design export, or screenshot without uploading it anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

What color formats are shown?
Each sampled pixel reports HEX, RGB and HSL, and you can copy any of them with one click.
How accurate is the sample?
The pixel under your cursor is read directly from the canvas via getImageData, so the value is exact, not estimated.
Does it work with screenshots?
Yes. Any image — photo, screenshot or design export — can be loaded and sampled pixel by pixel.
