Colour Picker: Pick colours from an image and apply them in seconds.

Easily sample and pick a colour from any image.

With the Colour Picker tool, you can choose colours directly within the panel or sample any pixel from an open image. Just click and drag the eyedropper to grab the exact shade you need, whether it’s from a photo, graphic or design element.

This makes it easy to match tones, build palettes or even change colour of image elements seamlessly. Use it to retouch product photos, adjust backgrounds or recolor text and shapes for brand continuity.

Save swatches and reuse your favourite colours anywhere.

Once you’ve found the perfect shade, you can click “Add to Swatches” in the Colour Picker to save it for later. Building a customised palette will help to keep your colours consistent across projects, whether you’re designing for work or fun.

Create cohesive social media graphics and or edit product photos to test background colours or prop ideas. If you’re looking to change colour of an object in a design or photo, having your saved swatches on hand makes it easy to get the perfect match.

Use the online colour picker to choose shades with precision.

Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, the online Colour Picker in Photoshop gives you complete control over your colour choices. The intuitive visual interface makes it easy to explore and select the right shade, while the precise HEX, RGB or CMYK input fields let you fine-tune colours to the exact value.

You can use your selected colours in endless ways, whether you’re customising text, applying a background colour or adding effects. It’s especially helpful when you want to add drop shadow to image elements or fade a picture with subtle colour overlays.

Simple built-in CMYK, RGB & HEX colour picker.

The image Colour Picker tool makes it easy to view and convert colours across multiple formats, including HEX, RGB, CMYK, LAB and HSB. Whether you’re designing for web, print or both, having all these options in one place means you can quickly match the exact values you need.

It’s especially helpful for digital and web designers who want consistent colours across screens and print or anyone working with brand guidelines that call for specific formats.

It’s a quick way to find HEX codes for CSS or HTML, stay within digital brand guidelines and create graphics that look great no matter where they’re viewed. Perfect for web designers, marketers or anyone working on digital assets.
