Color Tools
Extract color palettes and pick pixel-exact color values from any image. Get HEX, RGB, and HSL values instantly on your device. No account needed, no uploads.
What are online color tools?
Online color tools help designers, developers, and creators work with color, building palettes from real images and extracting exact color values from any pixel. Every tool on this page runs entirely on your device. No files are uploaded, and nothing is transmitted to any server.
Color Palette & Picker
The Color Palette & Picker combines two workflows in one tool. Switch to Extract Palette mode to upload any image and instantly see its six most dominant colors as HEX and RGB values you can copy into CSS, Figma, or any design tool. Switch to Pick Colors mode to upload an image and click any pixel to get its exact HEX, RGB, and HSL values, useful for sampling colors from logos, screenshots, photographs, and artwork.
Common use cases
Extract the brand palette from a product photo to build a consistent design system. Click specific pixels in a UI screenshot to get the exact HEX codes used. Sample colors from a logo to identify brand tones for CSS variables. Find the HSL equivalent of a color from a reference image for systematic color adjustments in code.
How to use the tool
Open the Color Palette & Picker and choose your mode with the tabs at the top. In Extract Palette mode, drop or upload an image and receive the dominant colors immediately. In Pick Colors mode, upload an image, then click anywhere on it to sample the pixel color. Both modes run instantly with no account required.
Which mode do you need?
Use Extract Palette to get the most prominent colors in an image for a design palette. Use Pick Colors to sample the exact color of a specific pixel in any photo, screenshot, or graphic.
Frequently asked questions
What color formats are shown?
Both modes show HEX values. Extract Palette also shows RGB. Pick Colors shows HEX, RGB, and HSL, all three formats with individual copy buttons.
How many colors does the palette extractor return?
Always six. The algorithm picks the six most visually distinct dominant colors from the image, avoiding near-identical shades so you get a usable palette rather than six near-identical values.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. All processing, both palette extraction and pixel sampling, runs entirely on your device using the Canvas API. Your image is never transmitted to any server.
