A few colourful answers.
How do I find a colour in my photo?
Choose an image, drop it into the workspace, or paste a screenshot. Click or tap a pixel to keep that colour selected, then copy its HEX code. You can try the sample photo straight away.
Does my image leave my device?
Selected and pasted files are processed in your browser and are never uploaded. If you load an image URL, your browser contacts that image host directly. Saved palettes contain colour values, never your images.
How accurate is the colour name?
The HEX code comes from the image pixel. The name is the closest perceptual match among 126 curated colours, so it is a useful description rather than an exact name for every possible shade.
Can I keep the colours I find?
Save a colour or name and save an entire palette on this device, without an account. Download a PNG palette to share it, copy all HEX codes, or choose CSS or JSON under More exports. Clearing browser data also clears saved palettes.
Which images can I use?
Use PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, SVG, or AVIF files up to 20 MB and 24 megapixels. Animated images are sampled as a still frame. For transparent images, opacity is shown separately; automatic palettes place translucent pixels on white.
Can I match paint, fabric or print colours from a photo?
Use the result as a digital reference, not a physical colour match. Lighting, camera processing, image profiles and your screen affect the result. Compare a physical sample or a supplier’s swatch before choosing paint, fabric or print colours.
Why does a sampled colour differ from my original design?
The picker reads the image as decoded by your browser. JPEG compression, resized screenshots, colour profiles, transparency and antialiased edges can change the values. For a flat logo colour, use the original PNG or SVG and pick inside a solid area, away from edges.
Why won’t an image URL open?
Some websites prevent other sites from reading their images. Download the image and choose the file instead. You can also paste a screenshot.
