About Image Color Picker

Identifying the exact color used in a photo, screenshot, or design mockup is a common task for developers and designers who don't have access to the original design file. This tool uploads your image onto a Canvas element, then reads the exact RGB values of the pixel you click using getImageData(). The click coordinates are scaled from the displayed image size to the Canvas's native resolution, so the color reading is accurate regardless of how the image is displayed on screen. Each picked color is shown as a hex code with a color swatch, and up to 12 recent picks are saved in a history panel below the image so you can collect a palette from a single image. Click any color in the history to copy its hex code. The cursor changes to a crosshair over the image to indicate pick mode. Useful for matching brand colors from a logo, extracting a palette from a reference photo, or identifying a color in a screenshot to use in CSS.
