Color Picker – Convert colors between HEX, RGB, HSL, and HSV

The color picker allows you to select and convert colors between different formats: HEX, RGB, HSL, and HSV. Enter a value in any format and get the equivalent values in others.

This tool is perfect for web developers, designers, and anyone working with colors. You see a real-time color preview and can copy values to clipboard with one click.

What's the difference between HEX, RGB, and HSL colors?

HEX (e.g., #FF5733) is the most common format in web development — compact and directly usable in CSS. RGB (red, green, blue) expresses color as three 0–255 values and is intuitive for color mixing. HSL (hue, saturation, lightness) is easiest for humans to understand: hue 0–360°, saturation and lightness as percentages. HSV differs from HSL by using value instead of lightness.

📚 More Info

The color picker extracts color codes from images or screens and displays them in different formats. A handy tool for designers and developers who need precise color codes.

✅ What does this do?

Select a color from an image or color palettes, and the tool shows it in HEX, RGB, and HSL formats.

  • Pick colors from uploaded images by clicking.
  • See color HEX, RGB, and HSL codes instantly.
  • Copy the desired color format code with one click.
🧠 How to interpret results?

The picked color is pixel-accurate – but screen color profiles can affect perceived color.

  • Different screens may display the same color code in slightly different shades.
  • JPEG compression can alter colors – use PNG images for more accurate picking.
  • Zooming the image closer gives more precise picking.
⚠️ Good to know

The color picker is a designer's basic tool for analyzing brands and designs.

  • Use the color picker to analyze inspiration images for creating your own palettes.
  • Screen colors (RGB) and print colors (CMYK) don't correspond directly.
  • The tool processes images in your browser – files aren't sent to servers.
Note: The color picker is a designer's eye – also try the color palette generator for creating complete palettes.
