Color Format Guide

🌐 HEX Colors (#RRGGBB)

Hexadecimal format widely used in web design and CSS. Each color channel (Red, Green, Blue) is represented by two hexadecimal digits (00-FF).

Examples: #FF0000 (red), #00FF00 (green), #0000FF (blue)

🖥️ RGB Colors (0-255)

Red, Green, Blue values from 0 to 255. The native color format for digital displays and most image editing software.

Examples: rgb(255, 0, 0), rgb(0, 255, 0), rgb(0, 0, 255)

🎨 HSL Colors (Hue, Saturation, Lightness)

More intuitive for designers. Hue (0-360°), Saturation (0-100%), Lightness (0-100%). Easier to create color variations and harmonies.

Examples: hsl(0, 100%, 50%), hsl(120, 100%, 50%), hsl(240, 100%, 50%)

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the eyedropper tool?

The eyedropper uses the browser's native EyeDropper API for pixel-perfect color sampling. Accuracy depends on your display calibration and browser support. It works best in Chrome and Edge browsers.

Can I extract colors from any image format?

Yes, our tool supports all common web image formats including JPG, PNG, WebP, and GIF. The color extraction algorithm analyzes the image and identifies the most dominant and frequently used colors.

How do I ensure good color contrast for accessibility?

Use our color picker to get exact values, then test them with accessibility tools. Generally, maintain a 4.5:1 contrast ratio for normal text and 3:1 for large text to meet WCAG AA standards.

Can I save and reuse my color palettes?

Yes! Your color history is automatically saved in the browser, and you can export your palette as a JSON file. This file can be imported into design tools or shared with team members for consistent color usage.
