Pick a color from an image
Drop an image into the upload area or select browse files. The visible guidance lists PNG . JPG . GIF . BMP . WEBP. Click the image to add a point, then drag the point to fine-tune its position with the loupe.
Use Loupe zoom (100-3000): to change the magnification. Choose the displayed point format with the separate Color format: selector. Its options include HEX, RGB, HSL, HSB, and CMYK. Picked results appear in Picked Points.
Inspect a picked point
Inspect a selected image point to open its detail panel. The panel includes Color Name, the point's color value, and Similar colors. Use the control titled Close to dismiss the panel.
Review picked colors and copy values
Review image selections in Picked Points. Use CSS to copy the panel’s CSS output or JSON to copy its JSON output. The panel also includes Clear for clearing the current list.
Dominant colors and palettes
Use Refresh in Dominant Colors to extract the main colors of the image and CSS to copy them. The Random Palette panel generates a random palette, with CSS to copy it and Regenerate for a new one.
To convert a color between formats, build palettes or check contrast, use the Color Finder.
