Color Picker
About Color Picker
Our free Color Picker lets you pick any color and instantly see its HEX, RGB, and HSL values, all kept in sync as you adjust any one of them. Save colors to a quick-access palette history for your current project.
How to Use the Color Picker
- Drag the picker across the color canvas or slider to land on the shade you want.
- Watch the HEX, RGB, and HSL values update together in real time.
- Type a specific value directly into any of the three fields if you already know the code you need, and the others will sync automatically.
- Click "save" to add the current color to your palette history for quick reuse later in the session.
Who uses this tool: Web designers use it to pull a brand color into three formats at once instead of converting by hand, front-end developers use it to grab the exact CSS value for a mockup, and hobbyists building a personal project use the palette history to keep a shortlist of colors they're testing together without re-picking each one. Presentation and slide designers use it to match a chart or background color to an existing brand guide, and anyone converting a design mockup into working CSS uses it to make sure the on-screen shade and the coded value line up exactly, without guessing at a hex code from a screenshot or relying on a separate conversion chart.

Frequently asked questions
What color formats does this tool support?
HEX, RGB, and HSL are all shown at once for whatever color you pick, so you can copy the exact format your project needs (CSS, design software, etc.).
Can I pick a color from an image or another part of my screen?
In browsers that support it (like Chrome and Edge), the native color picker includes an eyedropper you can use to sample any pixel on your screen, not just within the picker itself.
Is there a way to save colors I like for later?
Yes - use the "Save to history" button to keep a running swatch list of colors during your session, so you can quickly get back to one you picked earlier.
