Color Pickers

Choose, inspect, and name individual colors

Color pickers help you select a single color and read every value it maps to. Instead of guessing HEX codes, you can drag a picker, type a value in one format, and instantly see the RGB, HSL, HSV, and CMYK equivalents. These tools are the fastest way to lock in a precise color and copy it into your CSS, design file, or documentation.

Frequently asked questions

Do color pickers work on mobile?

Yes. Every picker supports touch input and typed values, so you can adjust a color with a slider or enter a HEX code directly on a phone or tablet.

Which color format should I copy?

Use HEX or RGB for the web, HSL when you want to reason about hue and lightness, and CMYK only as an approximation for print. Every picker gives you all of them.
