How it works

  1. Your browser draws the image and reads the exact colour of the pixel you choose.
  2. A magnifier shows the pixels around your pointer, so you can pick precisely.
  3. The main colours are found by grouping similar pixels and ranking them by how much of the image they cover.

Your image stays on your device

This tool runs entirely in your browser. The image is never uploaded, so there is nothing for us to store, see or delete.

To check, open your browser’s developer tools, switch to the Network tab and use the tool: you will not see your image being sent anywhere.

Questions

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. The image is read and processed by your own browser. Nothing is sent to our servers, so there is no copy of your image anywhere but your own device.

Why does a colour look slightly different from the original design?

JPG compression and photo lighting change colours a little from pixel to pixel. For a logo, pick from a flat area away from edges, or use a PNG of the logo for exact values.

Can I use it without a mouse?

Yes. Select the image, move with the arrow keys (hold Shift to move faster) and press Enter to pick a colour.

What are HEX, RGB and HSL?

They are three ways of writing the same colour. HEX (like #0000AA) is common in web design, RGB lists the red, green and blue amounts, and HSL describes hue, saturation and lightness.
