Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the picked color look slightly different from what I see on screen?

Your monitor's color profile and brightness calibration can make colors appear different from their actual pixel values. The tool reads the true pixel value in the file, which is the most accurate source for design and development work.

Can I pick colors from a screenshot?

Yes. Take a screenshot, upload it, and click on any color in the image. This is a common workflow for matching UI colors from a competitor's website or app.

What is the difference between HEX, RGB, and HSL?

HEX (e.g., #FF5733) is used in CSS and design tools. RGB expresses the same color as separate red, green, and blue channel values (0–255). HSL breaks the color into hue angle, saturation %, and lightness % — often easier for humans to intuitively adjust.

Can I extract a full color palette from an image rather than individual pixels?

For sampling individual colors this eyedropper tool is ideal. If you want an automatically extracted palette of the dominant colors in an image, try the Color Palette Extractor tool.

Does the tool work on transparent PNG pixels?

Yes. For transparent pixels the tool reports the color values along with an alpha value so you know the opacity level of that pixel.
