Finding the perfect shade shouldn't be difficult. Our online color picker offers a professional-grade interface to help you identify, convert, and implement colors for any digital project. Whether you are building a website, designing a logo, or styling an app, our tool provides the precision you need.
We provide instant conversions across all major web formats. Use HEX codes for CSS, RGB values for digital graphics, and HSL for intuitive color adjustments and lighting effects.
Design with inclusivity in mind. Our real-time preview allows you to test text contrast (Black vs. White) instantly, ensuring your color choices meet readability standards for all users.
Don't guess your hover states. The "Lighter / Darker" column provides a mathematical 20-step scale, allowing you to pick perfectly balanced accent colors for your UI elements.
Traditional square color pickers can make it hard to visualize the relationships between different hues. Our radial honeycomb grid organizes colors by their natural spectrum. By placing pure white at the center and radiating outwards through increasing saturation, designers can find harmonious color palettes faster than with standard sliders.

/* Using Hexadecimal */
.element { background-color: #33cccc; }
/* Using RGB */
.element { background-color: rgb(51, 204, 204); }
/* Using HSL (Best for transparency/hover) */
.element { background-color: hsl(180, 60%, 50%); }
What is a HEX color code?
A HEX code is a six-digit, three-byte hexadecimal number used in HTML, CSS, and other computing applications to represent colors.
How do I find a color from an image?
While this tool is a manual picker, you can enter any HEX value you find from an image eye-dropper into our "Enter a Color" field to generate its RGB/HSL equivalents and shade scales.
