How to use the Color Picker
- Click the color square to open your browser's picker, or type any color into the text field. HEX codes, rgb() and hsl() values all work.
- Watch the HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV and CMYK rows update together. You can also edit any row and the others follow.
- Choose Pick from screen, where your browser supports it, and click any color you can see on your display.
- Press Copy next to the value you need, or open the closest named color to read its full page.
Examples
A named color
Picking #4169E1 gives rgb(65, 105, 225), hsl(225, 73%, 57%) and CMYK 71%, 53%, 0%, 12%. It is an exact match for Royal Blue, so the tool links straight to that color's page.
A color from a screenshot
Open the screenshot next to this page, choose Pick from screen and click the color you want. Its HEX code appears at once, ready to paste into your stylesheet.
A quick accessibility check
Under the values the picker states the contrast ratio with white and black text. For #4169E1 white text reaches 4.84:1 and black reaches 4.33:1, so white is the better label color on that blue.
Tips
- Paste CSS-style values into the text field: #4169E1, rgb(65, 105, 225) or hsl(225, 73%, 57%).
- The address bar keeps the current color after the # sign, so you can bookmark or share a link to it.
- Check the contrast line before using a color for text, then open the contrast checker for the full WCAG breakdown.
Questions about the Color Picker
How do I find the HEX code of a color?
Choose the color with the square or the eyedropper, or type its RGB or HSL values. The HEX code is the first row of the results, and its Copy button puts it on your clipboard.
Why is there no Pick from screen button in my browser?
That button needs the EyeDropper API, which Chromium-based browsers such as Chrome and Edge provide. In other browsers use the color square or type the value.
Are the converted values exact?
HEX and RGB describe the same 24-bit color exactly. HSL, HSV and CMYK are standard mathematical conversions rounded to whole numbers, so converting back can differ by one step. CMYK here is a screen-based estimate, not a print profile.
Does the picker save my colors?
Recently picked colors are kept in your own browser's local storage so you can reuse them. They are never sent to a server.
