What this tool does
This tool lets you pick any color visible on your screen and instantly see its value in multiple formats. Using the browser's built-in EyeDropper API, you can sample colors from websites, images, desktop apps, or anything else on screen. You can also type in a hex code directly to look up its RGB and HSL equivalents.
Supported color formats
Every picked or entered color is shown in three standard formats:
- **HEX** — The 6-digit hexadecimal code used in CSS and design tools (e.g., #3B82F6) - **RGB** — Red, green, and blue channel values from 0 to 255 (e.g., rgb(59, 130, 246)) - **HSL** — Hue (0-360 degrees), saturation, and lightness percentages (e.g., hsl(217, 91%, 60%))
Each format has a one-click copy button so you can paste values directly into code or design software.
How the EyeDropper API works
The EyeDropper API is a browser-native feature that temporarily turns your cursor into a color-sampling crosshair. Click anywhere on screen to capture the exact color of that pixel. The API is supported in Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Opera, Arc). Firefox and Safari do not yet support it, but you can still enter colors manually.
Who should use this
- **Web developers** — Quickly grab exact colors from mockups, live sites, or design specs - **Designers** — Sample colors from reference images, competitor websites, or brand assets - **Content creators** — Match colors across social media graphics, presentations, and documents - **Anyone** — Identify and copy any color you see on screen in seconds
