How accurate is this online color picker compared to Photoshop's eyedropper?

Our tool picks the exact color data of the pixel your cursor is over on the image as rendered in your browser's canvas. For web design and general digital use, it's highly accurate for obtaining HEX, RGB, and HSL codes directly from what you see on screen.

Can I use this color picker to pick colors from a website directly?

This tool is designed to pick colors from an *uploaded image*. To pick colors from a live website, browser developer tools or dedicated color picker extensions (like a color picker Chrome extension) are typically used. However, you can take a screenshot of a website, upload it here, and then use our tool.

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

HEX (Hexadecimal) is a common web format (e.g., #RRGGBB). RGB (Red, Green, Blue) defines colors by the intensity of these primary light components (0-255). HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) offers a more intuitive way to think about color variations. All are widely used in web development and graphic design.

Does this tool function as a color palette generator?

While it doesn't automatically generate complex color palettes (like complementary or triadic schemes), it does create a palette of your *manually picked colors* from the image. This is useful for building a specific color scheme based on an image's existing colors.

Is there a limit to how many colors I can save in the 'Picked Color Palette'?

Yes, the palette typically stores a limited number of your most recently picked colors (e.g., the last 10) to keep the interface clean and focused. If you need to save more, you can copy the color codes to an external note.
