Colour picker from image: how to use it

  1. 1Add an image.
  2. 2Tap or click a spot on the image. Drag to explore nearby colours.
  3. 3Copy the HEX, RGB or HSL code, or use the palette of main colours.

HEX, RGB and HSL

HEX codes such as #0071E3 are used in web design, Canva, Figma and most design apps. RGB gives the red, green and blue values from 0 to 255, which some apps and code ask for. HSL describes hue, saturation and lightness, which makes it easy to create lighter or darker versions of a colour.

The picker averages a tiny 3 × 3 pixel area, so a single stray pixel in a photo doesn't throw the result off.

Building a palette from a photo

The main colours are found by grouping similar pixels together and are listed from most to least common, with roughly how much of the image each one covers. It's a quick way to match a brand, decorate a room from a favourite picture or pick colours for a slide deck that suit your photos.
