Color Picker
Sample image colors and copy hex/rgb locally.
Color Picker samples pixels from a local image and extracts a dominant palette in your browser. Click to pick, copy hex or rgb, and keep every pixel on-device—ideal for matching brand colors from screenshots.
How it works
Load an image into Canvas, extract a quantized palette, and map clicks on the preview back to source pixels. Selected colors expose hex and rgb strings for one-click copy.
Benefits
- Click-to-sample from any loaded image
- Automatic dominant palette
- Copy hex or rgb
- Fully local processing
Use cases
- Match colors from a design screenshot
- Pull a palette from product photography

- Inspect UI theme colors quickly
Best practices
- Use high-resolution sources for accurate picks
- Prefer palette swatches for overall themes
- Copy hex into design tokens carefully
- Verify contrast separately for accessibility
Common mistakes
- Sampling anti-aliased edges expecting solid fills
- Assuming palette order equals brand priority
- Forgetting RGB vs HEX when pasting into CSS
- Using tiny thumbnails for precise picks
Privacy
Images and sampled colors never leave your browser. History is off by default for this media tool.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I pick a color from an image?
- Load an image, then click or tap a pixel on the preview. The sampled color appears with hex and rgb values you can copy.
- What is the palette extract?
- After loading, ToolHub buckets pixel colors and lists the most common ones. Click a swatch to select it for copying.
- Can I copy hex and rgb?
- Yes. Toggle Copy format between HEX and RGB, then use the Copy action in the toolbar. The selected color is what gets copied.
- Are images uploaded?
- No. Pixel sampling and palette extraction run on a local Canvas. Files stay on your device.
- Why might a click miss the color I expected?
- The preview may be scaled. Clicks map back to source coordinates using the displayed size, but anti-aliasing can blend edge pixels.
