Exact colours from any picture
Matching a brand colour from a logo, reusing a shade from a photo in your design, or checking what colour a paint sample really is — all you need is the colour code. Upload or paste an image and move over it: a magnifier shows the individual pixels so you can pick precisely.
Click to copy the colour as HEX, RGB, HSL or CMYK. The tool also analyses the whole image and lists its main colours, which is a quick way to build a palette from a photo.

Tips and good to know
- JPG compression and shadows can shift colours slightly. Pick from a flat, well-lit area, or sample a few nearby pixels.
- The CMYK value is a mathematical conversion; exact print colours depend on your printer and paper profile.
