Image Color Picker — Get HEX & RGB From a Photo

Looking for a color picker from an image? Upload any photo and click any pixel to instantly read its exact color as a HEX code and RGB values - free, and running entirely in your browser with nothing uploaded. It is the quickest way to grab the precise color you see in a picture.

Want the overall color story of a picture rather than a single pixel? The tool also automatically extracts a dominant-color palette from your photo, so you can see the main colors at a glance and use them in a design, a brand kit, a presentation, or a mood board. This is perfect when you are matching a website to a logo, building a palette from a favorite photograph, or simply curious about the colors that make an image feel the way it does.

Every color code is one click away from your clipboard. Click a pixel to sample its color, or click a swatch from the palette, and copy the HEX or RGB value to paste straight into your design app, your CSS, a document, or a chat. There is no manual typing of long color codes and no risk of transcription mistakes.

Because everything runs 100% in your browser, your image never leaves your device and nothing is uploaded to a server. That means you can pick colors from private photos, client work, or unreleased designs with complete confidence, knowing the files stay entirely on your own computer. Whether you are a designer, a developer, a marketer, or just someone who loves a particular shade in a photo, this color picker gives you the exact values you need without any friction or privacy concerns.

A colour picker is only as useful as what you do with the value it returns, and the two most common jobs need different things from it. Matching a brand colour means you want the exact pixel value, unaveraged, from an area of flat colour rather than a gradient or a JPEG artefact. Building a palette means the opposite: you want the dominant colours across the whole image, which is why the extracted palette groups similar tones instead of returning every unique value in the file.

One practical caution about reading colour from a photograph: what you see on screen has already passed through the camera's white balance, the file's colour profile and your own display calibration. For design work that is usually fine. For anything where the colour has to be reproduced physically — print, paint, fabric — treat the HEX value as a close starting point rather than a specification, and confirm against a physical sample.
