Why Use Our Color Picker

This tool combines a visual color wheel, image eyedropper, and WCAG accessibility contrast checker in one place, eliminating the need to switch between separate apps. It outputs every major format instantly, including HEX, RGB, HSL, and CMYK, with one-click copy so you can paste values straight into your code or design tool.

Private Photo Processing for Color Sampling

When you upload an image to sample colors, it is processed entirely in your browser and never sent to a server. Brand assets, unreleased designs, and confidential mockups remain on your device throughout the color extraction process. No image data is stored or cached after you close the tab.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between RGB and HEX?
RGB uses three decimal values from 0-255 for red, green, and blue channels. HEX is simply the hexadecimal representation of those same values. They describe the same color space, so #FF5733 is identical to RGB(255, 87, 51).
How do I check color contrast for accessibility?
After selecting a foreground and background color, the built-in contrast checker displays the contrast ratio. WCAG AA requires a ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. The tool will indicate whether your combination passes.
Can I extract colors from an image?
Yes. Upload any image and hover over it with the eyedropper tool. Click to capture the exact color at that pixel. This is useful for matching brand colors or pulling palette inspiration from photographs.
