FAQ
What color formats are supported?
HEX (#FF5733), RGB (rgb(255, 87, 51)), HSL (hsl(11, 100%, 60%)), CMYK, RGBA (with alpha), and more.
How does the eyedropper work?
Click the eyedropper icon, then click anywhere on your screen to grab that color. Note: The eyedropper requires the EyeDropper API (Chrome, Edge support it; Firefox/Safari do not yet).
What is the difference between HEX and RGB?
HEX is hexadecimal notation (#RRGGBB), common in CSS and web design. RGB uses red-green-blue channel values (0-255), which is more intuitive. Both represent the same color and convert between each other.
Can I generate color schemes?
Yes. The tool includes complementary, analogous, triadic, and other color scheme generators to help you find harmonious combinations.
Does it auto-copy the color value?
Not automatically, but clicking the copy button next to any color value copies it to your clipboard instantly.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. Responsive design ensures the color picker works smoothly on phones and tablets.
