How can I pick a color from an image?



When I move the cursor to any particular point in the image, I want the hex code of the color at the cursor to be displayed. I would like to be able to do that with anything displayed on the screen even if it is not an Image, say I am working on any Windows application having various colors.



Is there a way to do that?

          In Windows, there is an easier way that doesn't need any software.




          1. Capture the screen in an image file (use something like the Snipping Tool to grab the desired area)

          2. Open the file with MS Paint

          3. Use Paint's pick color and pick the color

          4. Press "Edit Colors" button

          5. You have the RGB values!

          Instant Eyedropper is exactly what you were searching for.




          How it works




          1. Move the mouse pointer to the Instant Eyedropper icon in the system tray.
            Instant Eyedropper system tray icon

          2. Press and hold the left mouse button and move the mouse pointer to the pixel whose color you want to identify.
            Instant Eyedropper color picker tool

          3. Release the mouse button.


          That's it. The clipboard now contains the color code - in HTML format (or any other format that you have previously specified). It
          can be pasted and used in any text or HTML editor or the Color Picker
          tool of Photoshop.




          It comes with all the options that I personally wanted of such tool.




          • Clipboard color pattern (Hex, and others)

          • Startup on system tray

          • No overhead or ads and it's free.


          Instant Eyedropper options panel



          Works on windows XP, vista, 7, 8, 10 and probably beyond that.





          Clarification on values returned by the HSB option



          Note that HSB format gives standard values, which are:





          • Hue: 0-359 degrees


          • Saturation: 0-100%


          • Brightness: 0-100%


          Some tools like Paint on windows will give slightly different values:





          • Hue: 0-239


          • Saturation: 0-240


          • Luminance: 0-240


          The reasoning is explained on the windows blog.




          The theoretical
          range for Hue is an angle, normalized to be greater than or equal to
          0° and strictly less than 360°. The upper value of the range is not
          reached because Hue is cyclical, so a value of 360° is equivalent to
          0°. On the other hand, Saturation and Luminance are floating point
          values between 0.0 and 1.0 (inclusive).



          In Windows, the Hue, Saturation, and Luminance ranges are rescaled so that they go from 0 to 240. Hue is endpoint-exclusive (because 360° = 0°) whereas Saturation and Luminance are endpoint-inclusive (because 1.0 is achievable).




          If you want to use Eyedropper on windows with a tool like Paint, you can do the math with the ratios explained above, or just use the RGB value whenever possible.

          Features I liked about Just Color Picker:




          • It's free.

          • It's portable (no installation is needed).

          • Supports many color formats (HTML, RGB, HEX, HSB/HSV, HSL, CMYK and Delphi).

          • Has hotkey and autocopy options.

            If the image can be rendered in a browser, most of them have built-in color pickers / eyedroppers:





            • Chrome - DevTools (F12) -> Elements -> Styles -> click any color preview box enter image description here


            • FireFox - Same as Chrome or Hamburger menu -> Web Developer -> Eyedropper enter image description here


            • Internet Explorer - DevTools (F12) -> DOM Explorer -> Ctrl+K -> Enable ink dropper mode (left most button)

            PicPick is nice:




            It is an all-in-one program that
            provides full-featured screen capture
            tool, intuitive image editor, color
            picker, color palette, pixel ruler,

            I like Colorzilla when using Firefox. Simply use the eyedropper to click anywhere within the web page, including images, and it returns the RGB and Hex code.

              While Colorzilla is quite useful, this is not a solution when you want to pick a color "on any windows application having various colors".

              While agreeing with Kevin, if your color is in a webpage, no need for extension (it may make it faster if you have to do this multiple times), but I just hit F12 to open the debug console, click the top left corner to "Select Element" and point to it on the browser

            ColorPic is free windows app that works well for picking colors. They have a paid one as well but I find the freebie works for the simple stuff just fine.

                  I used to capture HTML colors with the Color Cop utility. Different of the majority of alternatives, it allows me to capture and after that, move the mouse preserving the color captured with allows me to use Ctrl+C later on.

                    I recommend Nattyware Pixie.
                    Tiny (under 10KB), free, portable. And much easier than the Windows Paint route.

                    You can pick a color from an image easily online using this website:

                    • The questions asks about picking a color anywhere on the screen, not just in an image. An online service can't directly do that.

                    In Windows, there is an easier way that doesn't need any software.




                    1. Capture the screen in an image file (use something like the Snipping Tool to grab the desired area)

                    2. Open the file with MS Paint

                    3. Use Paint's pick color and pick the color

                    4. Press "Edit Colors" button

                    5. You have the RGB values!

                    Instant Eyedropper is exactly what you were searching for.




                    How it works




                    1. Move the mouse pointer to the Instant Eyedropper icon in the system tray.
                      Instant Eyedropper system tray icon

                    2. Press and hold the left mouse button and move the mouse pointer to the pixel whose color you want to identify.
                      Instant Eyedropper color picker tool

                    3. Release the mouse button.


                    That's it. The clipboard now contains the color code - in HTML format (or any other format that you have previously specified). It
                    can be pasted and used in any text or HTML editor or the Color Picker
                    tool of Photoshop.




                    It comes with all the options that I personally wanted of such tool.




                    • Clipboard color pattern (Hex, and others)

                    • Startup on system tray

                    • No overhead or ads and it's free.


                    Instant Eyedropper options panel



                    Works on windows XP, vista, 7, 8, 10 and probably beyond that.





                    Clarification on values returned by the HSB option



                    Note that HSB format gives standard values, which are:





                    • Hue: 0-359 degrees


                    • Saturation: 0-100%


                    • Brightness: 0-100%


                    Some tools like Paint on windows will give slightly different values:





                    • Hue: 0-239


                    • Saturation: 0-240


                    • Luminance: 0-240


                    The reasoning is explained on the windows blog.




                    The theoretical
                    range for Hue is an angle, normalized to be greater than or equal to
                    0° and strictly less than 360°. The upper value of the range is not
                    reached because Hue is cyclical, so a value of 360° is equivalent to
                    0°. On the other hand, Saturation and Luminance are floating point
                    values between 0.0 and 1.0 (inclusive).



                    In Windows, the Hue, Saturation, and Luminance ranges are rescaled so that they go from 0 to 240. Hue is endpoint-exclusive (because 360° = 0°) whereas Saturation and Luminance are endpoint-inclusive (because 1.0 is achievable).




                    If you want to use Eyedropper on windows with a tool like Paint, you can do the math with the ratios explained above, or just use the RGB value whenever possible.

                    Instant Eyedropper is exactly what you were searching for.




                    How it works




                    1. Move the mouse pointer to the Instant Eyedropper icon in the system tray.
                      Instant Eyedropper system tray icon

                    2. Press and hold the left mouse button and move the mouse pointer to the pixel whose color you want to identify.
                      Instant Eyedropper color picker tool

                    3. Release the mouse button.


                    That's it. The clipboard now contains the color code - in HTML format (or any other format that you have previously specified). It
                    can be pasted and used in any text or HTML editor or the Color Picker
                    tool of Photoshop.




                    It comes with all the options that I personally wanted of such tool.




                    • Clipboard color pattern (Hex, and others)

                    • Startup on system tray

                    • No overhead or ads and it's free.


                    Instant Eyedropper options panel



                    Works on windows XP, vista, 7, 8, 10 and probably beyond that.





                    Clarification on values returned by the HSB option



                    Note that HSB format gives standard values, which are:





                    • Hue: 0-359 degrees


                    • Saturation: 0-100%


                    • Brightness: 0-100%


                    Some tools like Paint on windows will give slightly different values:





                    • Hue: 0-239


                    • Saturation: 0-240


                    • Luminance: 0-240


                    The reasoning is explained on the windows blog.




                    The theoretical
                    range for Hue is an angle, normalized to be greater than or equal to
                    0° and strictly less than 360°. The upper value of the range is not
                    reached because Hue is cyclical, so a value of 360° is equivalent to
                    0°. On the other hand, Saturation and Luminance are floating point
                    values between 0.0 and 1.0 (inclusive).



                    In Windows, the Hue, Saturation, and Luminance ranges are rescaled so that they go from 0 to 240. Hue is endpoint-exclusive (because 360° = 0°) whereas Saturation and Luminance are endpoint-inclusive (because 1.0 is achievable).




                    If you want to use Eyedropper on windows with a tool like Paint, you can do the math with the ratios explained above, or just use the RGB value whenever possible.

                            If the image can be rendered in a browser, most of them have built-in color pickers / eyedroppers:





                            • Chrome - DevTools (F12) -> Elements -> Styles -> click any color preview box enter image description here


                            • FireFox - Same as Chrome or Hamburger menu -> Web Developer -> Eyedropper enter image description here


                            • Internet Explorer - DevTools (F12) -> DOM Explorer -> Ctrl+K -> Enable ink dropper mode (left most button)

                            I like Colorzilla when using Firefox. Simply use the eyedropper to click anywhere within the web page, including images, and it returns the RGB and Hex code.

                              While Colorzilla is quite useful, this is not a solution when you want to pick a color "on any windows application having various colors".

                              While agreeing with Kevin, if your color is in a webpage, no need for extension (it may make it faster if you have to do this multiple times), but I just hit F12 to open the debug console, click the top left corner to "Select Element" and point to it on the browser

                            While agreeing with Kevin, if your color is in a webpage, no need for extension (it may make it faster if you have to do this multiple times), but I just hit F12 to open the debug console, click the top left corner to "Select Element" and point to it on the browser

                            this is good, as it doesn't need any software installation, just open your image in browser or drag and drop the image in browser

                            ColorPic is free windows app that works well for picking colors. They have a paid one as well but I find the freebie works for the simple stuff just fine.

                                    I use Pixlr on account of it being web-based, so quick and easy to use anywhere that supports Flash.
