Frequently Asked Questions
What is a HEX color code?
A HEX code is a short code that starts with a hash sign, like #FF5733. Web designers use it in CSS and design tools to describe an exact color.
What is the difference between HEX, RGB, and HSL?
They all describe the same color in different ways. HEX is a short code, RGB lists red, green, and blue amounts, and HSL uses hue, saturation, and lightness. HSL is often easier when you want to make a color lighter or darker.
Can I pick a color from a screenshot?
Yes. Upload the screenshot as an image and click on the color you need.
Is the color exact?
The tool reads the real pixel value from your image. If the image was compressed, a pixel can differ slightly from the original design color, so pick from a flat area of color when you can.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. Everything happens in your browser, so your picture stays private.
Is this tool free?
Yes, it is free and you do not need an account.
HEX, RGB, and HSL: Which Color Code Should You Use?
HEX is the most common choice for websites. It is short, easy to copy, and works in almost every design tool and in CSS.
RGB shows how much red, green, and blue a color has, each from 0 to 255. It is useful in code and when you need to add transparency using RGBA.
HSL stands for hue, saturation, and lightness. It feels more natural to humans. If you want a darker version of a blue, you only change the lightness number and keep the rest the same.
The picker gives you all three, so you can use whichever one your project needs.
