About Color Picker

Pulling exact color values out of an image is how you match a design to a photograph, a logo or a screenshot when you have no brand guide to work from.

How to use it

1. Upload the image you want colors from.
2. Pick the point or area you are interested in.
3. Copy the color value.

Worth knowing

Photographs are not flat color — lighting, compression and shadow all shift a pixel from the color you perceive. Sample a few points across an area rather than trusting one pixel.

Common questions

Which format do I get?

Standard web values such as HEX and RGB, which paste straight into CSS or a design tool.

Why doesn't it match the printed version?

Screens emit light and print reflects it. Screen values are a starting point for print, not a match.
