Free Color Code Picker – Instantly Identify Hex, RGB and HSL Values

Whether you are a web designer, graphic artist, front-end developer or UX specialist you often need the exact color code to maintain brand consistency or create visual harmony. The Color Code Picker tool on SmartMeta allows you to pick and identify color codes from your images or sample swatches and instantly get the corresponding Hex, RGB and HSL values. This makes it easy to reproduce colors exactly in CSS, design tools or digital interfaces.

When working in digital design the ability to capture an exact color from an image or element is invaluable. The term “color picker” refers to a tool that lets you select a colour from a display or image and then extract its numerical value.

With this tool you simply upload an image, click on the colour you want, and receive the colour code instantly.

What is a Color Code Picker

A Color Code Picker is a specialised online utility that reads colour values from a pixel or region in an image and converts them into standardized colour formats such as Hex (#RRGGBB), RGB (r, g, b), and HSL (hue, saturation, lightness). These formats are essential for web styling, theme design, print and UI development. One popular tool allows users to upload or drag an image and then hover or click to capture hex values along with RGB and HSL equivalents.

Best Practices for Working with Colour Codes

  • Use high resolution and well lit images so colour sampling is precise.
  • Always note whether you are working in hex or RGB format and apply it consistently.
