Image Color Picker
Upload an image and click anywhere on it to read off the exact color at that pixel — plus a dominant-color palette extracted automatically.
How the palette is extracted
Every pixel's color is grouped into buckets by rounding it to the nearest step, so near-identical shades collapse together, then the most frequently occurring groups become the palette — a simple, fast approximation rather than a perceptual color-clustering algorithm, which works well for most photos and graphics.
Common uses
- Matching a hex code from a logo, screenshot, or photo for a design project
- Pulling a quick color palette from a photo for a mood board or website theme
- Checking the exact color used somewhere in an image before recreating it
Frequently asked questions
How do I get the exact hex code of a color in an image?
Upload the image, then click directly on the color you want — the exact hex code and RGB values for that pixel appear immediately below, and clicking the result copies the hex code to your clipboard.
What's the difference between the clicked color and the palette?
The clicked color is the exact pixel value at the point you selected, while the palette shows the most common colors across the whole image, grouped to collapse near-identical shades together.
Can I extract colors from a photo, not just a graphic?
Yes — it works on any image type, though photos naturally have more color variation than flat graphics or logos, so the palette represents the most frequent color groups rather than a small fixed set of exact brand colors.
Is this the same as a professional color-matching tool?
It's a fast, practical approximation — good for design inspiration, matching a rough hex code, or building a quick palette. For precise brand color matching (like exact Pantone values), a dedicated color-calibration tool is more accurate.
