Vibrant colors are usually used for setting accents, while pastel and pale colors often appear in the background or in unprocessed photos. Vibrant colors are pure and only exhibit limited amounts of grey, while pastel and pale colors are diluted with grey and are less poppy. The intensity is inversely proportional to the amount of grey in a color. The color intensity is described using one of 7 levels (ordered from the most to the least saturated): There are only 2 hues that are occasionally skipped or ignored when describing complex hues: cyan and magenta.įor example, instead of referencing cyan, the notion of a "greenish blue" may be used. Only combinations of subsequent hues (as listed above) are possible.įor example, there is a "blueish purple", but there is no "yellowish purple". More complex hues can be described as a composition of two hues, one as the primary and one as the secondary hue.įor example, "orangy red" describes a hue that is red with a hint of orange (red is primary and orange is secondary).
It ranges between 0% and 100%, with 100% being a perfect match most matches are greater than 95% thanks to the high density of the used color dictionary.Įach color belongs to one of the 8 basic hues: The color match score represents the similarity between the selected color and the most similar color from the dictionary. The supported RGB codes correspond to the 24-bit system where each component ranges between 0 and 255 (8-bit encoding).Ĭolor names are provided by the comprehensive Art圜lick Color Dictionary The Art圜lick Color Name Finder can be used to find color names from the hex or RGB color codes. The analogous colors are next in the color wheel. The Color Harmonies are the combinations in which use modulations of the same hue, or also of different nuances, but that maintain a certain relationship with the chosen colors. Since lighting conditions strongly affect the colors in an image, it is recommended to take pictures in natural light to obtain the most representative color names. Our color picker is smart enough to understand all color codes. Once the image is loaded, clicking on the image areas will initiate the color name identification. Colors From Image Upload file from your computer or insert link to online image to access its color codes. It finds color names for 3 types of input: Get HTML colors from any image with this simple online tool. As using the mouse to extract a color can be inaccurate, to avoid losing the exact point where you want to extract the color, you can use the precise Cartesian (x, y) coordinate options, which lock the location of the pixel.The feature "Color Name Finder" provides the most common names for a color. The increased radius is shown with a green border in the magnifying glass and also on the JPG itself. Color coding information and a preview should be shown next to the image. Upload your image or favorite photo into the tool, then select a color code from the image by clicking on any pixel. Similarly, an eyedropper of radius 3 extracts an average color from an area of 5×5 (it's the center pixel plus two pixels to all sides). This simple color picker tool helps you to find an exact color code or hex color codes online.
For example, an eyedropper of radius 2 extracts the average color from an area of 3×3 (it's the center pixel, plus another pixel in all directions). If you want to get the color of a larger area than a single pixel, you can increase the eyedropper radius. This is the pixel that is used for picking the color. When you do that, a magnifying glass appears and in its center, you'll see a magnified pixel with a red border around it.
To extract a color as accurately as possible, click on the loaded photo and hold down the mouse button. If necessary, you can also print any of these color codes on the output JPG by using the print-color-name option. Also, in the options below, the names of the color are printed in many, many different formats – you get the web-safe color name as text and then programmatic color codes in HEX, RGB, RGBA, HSL, HSV, HSI, LAB, LCH, and HCL formats. The color itself is painted in the output area and can be downloaded as a separate JPG. You can upload a JPG photo, click on any point on the photo with the mouse, and you'll instantly get detailed information about the selected color. With this online utility, you can extract color from JPG/JPEG and JPEG2000 pictures.
