How to Use
Add an image
Click the upload area or drag an image onto it. Any format your browser can display works — PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, SVG.
Pick a pixel, or read the palette
Move the pointer over the image to preview the colour underneath, and click to pin it. A list of the image's dominant colours appears on the right at the same time.
Click any colour value to copy it
Both the pinned colour and the palette entries copy their HEX or ARGB value to the clipboard when you click them.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is my image uploaded to a server?
- No. The file is read with the browser's FileReader and drawn onto a canvas locally. No request is made and nothing is stored anywhere.
- Why is the colour I picked slightly different from the one I see in my image editor?
- The preview shown here is scaled down to a maximum of 500 pixels on its longest side and re-encoded, and smooth scaling blends neighbouring pixels. Colours on a sharp edge can therefore read as a blend rather than the exact pixel in the original file. For a flat area of colour the two match.
- How does it decide which colours are the dominant ones?
- The image is scaled to 200 pixels, sampled on a grid, and each colour is compared against the others using CIE76 colour difference. Shades less than 10 apart are merged into a single averaged colour. A colour must cover at least 1% of the sampled pixels to be listed, and the list is capped at 18 entries, largest first.
- What do the two values next to each colour mean?
- HEX is the usual six-digit web colour. ARGB is written with the alpha channel first — ARGB(255, 120, 40, 90) means fully opaque red 120, green 40, blue 90. The alpha is always 255 for an opaque image, and pixels that are more than half transparent are skipped when building the palette.
