About the Image Color Picker
Tezmy's Image Color Picker finds the exact colour of any pixel in a photo, logo or screenshot. Open an image, move over it to preview colours and click to save them with their HEX and RGB codes, ready to copy into your design, website or brand guide. It also extracts the image's main colours as a palette automatically. In Chrome and Edge you can even pick a colour from anywhere on your screen. Everything runs in your browser, so your images stay private.

HEX and RGB codes explained
HEX codes like #FFC53D are used in websites and design apps. RGB codes like rgb(255, 197, 61) describe the amount of red, green and blue from 0 to 255. Both describe the same colour. To convert to other formats like HSL or CMYK, use our Color Converter.
Getting the exact colour
Photos contain many slightly different shades, especially with shadows and compression. Zoom into flat areas and pick a few points to find the true colour. The automatic palette shows the main colours of the whole image, which is often the quickest way to get a brand or theme colour.
Build a colour palette from a photo
Open a photo you love, like a sunset, a room or a product, and the tool suggests its main colours automatically. Copy the codes into Canva, Figma, PowerPoint or your website to create designs that match. Save a few picked colours next to the palette to compare shades before you choose.
Pick a colour from anywhere on your screen
In Chrome and Edge on a computer, the screen picker lets you grab a colour from any window: a website, an app or a video. Click the picker button, move the magnifier to the colour you want and click. The HEX and RGB codes appear straight away, ready to copy. Other browsers don't support this yet, so use an image or screenshot instead. To pick a different code type use Color Converter, and Crop Image to focus on the area. Before you pick, trim the picture with Crop Image, and if the file is large, Compress Image makes it quicker to open.
