Use cases for image color picking
Brand color matching: upload a company logo to find the exact hex codes. Website recreation: pick colors from a screenshot to match a design. Interior design: extract colors from inspiration photos. Palette extraction: pick the 5-6 dominant colors from an image to create a cohesive design palette.
Understanding color values at a pixel level
Digital images store color as RGB values (red, green, blue channels each 0-255). The eyedropper samples the exact RGB values at the clicked pixel. These are then converted to HEX (the web format) and HSL (useful for generating related colors).
Building a palette from an image
To extract a palette from an image: pick the dominant color, the most common neutral, an accent color, and 1-2 supporting colors. Aim for colors that work together — images often have built-in harmony in their palette.
