Pick colors from images with confidence

An image color picker is useful when a color exists visually but not as a design token. Sample a fabric, illustration, product photo, screenshot, or reference board and get a precise digital value in seconds.

HEX is convenient for CSS and web design. RGB describes the red, green, and blue channels used by screens. HSL and HSV make it easier to reason about hue, saturation, and lightness or brightness when you are building a palette.

Good uses for an image color picker

Private by design

The image is decoded, sampled, and reduced to color values inside your browser. Toon Tone does not need the image file itself, an account, or a server upload for this tool to work.

Image Color Picker FAQ

How do I pick a color from an image?

Choose or drop an image, move over the picture to preview a pixel, then select a point. The picker shows HEX, RGB, HSL, and HSV values and lets you copy them.

What image formats are supported?

The picker accepts common browser-readable image formats including JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, and AVIF, up to 20 MB.

Is this image color picker accurate?

It reports the rendered pixel value from the uploaded image. Compression, color profiles, transparency, and the original display can affect what a file represents, so use the result as a digital sample rather than a physical color standard.

Are my images uploaded?

No. Image decoding and sampling happen locally in the browser, and the picker does not send the image to Toon Tone.

What is the difference between HEX, RGB, HSL, and HSV?

HEX is a compact notation for RGB channels. RGB lists those channels directly. HSL describes hue, saturation, and lightness, while HSV describes hue, saturation, and value (brightness).
