Why colors can look different than expected
A picked pixel reflects the exact color stored in the file, which can look different from what your eye perceives due to surrounding colors and lighting in the photo — a common effect called simultaneous contrast.
About the Image Color Picker
The Image Color Picker lets you upload a photo and click any point to read its exact colour as HEX and RGB values. Designers use it to match brand colours, pull a palette from a photograph or copy the colour of an element in a screenshot.
The tool reads the pixel under the pointer from the image data. Colours may look different from what you expect because screens differ, image files may contain colour profiles, and compression can shift colours slightly, particularly in JPEG images. A single pixel can also be noisy, so click a few nearby points to find a representative colour.
How to use it
- Upload an image.
- Click or tap the point you want to sample.
- Read the HEX and RGB values.
- Use Copy HEX to take the colour to your design tool.
Tips and good to know
- For photographs, sample several spots and average them mentally.
- Screenshots in PNG keep colours more exactly than JPEG.
- Use the Color Converter to change the format.
