Image Colour Picker & Palette Extractor
Designers constantly need "that exact colour" from a photo or screenshot. Click any pixel and this tool reads the real value from the decoded image data (not a screen approximation), giving HEX, RGB and HSL with one-click copy. The palette extractor analyses the whole image and returns its dominant colours — weighted toward the vivid ones a human would actually name — with each colour's share of the image.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the picked colour?
Exact at the pixel: it reads the decoded image data directly. Note that JPG/WebP compression means neighbouring pixels differ slightly — the value shown is the true value of the pixel you clicked.
How is the palette chosen?
Pixels are grouped into colour buckets, each bucket averaged, weighted toward saturated colours, and near-duplicates merged — so you get the six colours that describe the image, not six shades of its background.
