Color Picker

Color Picker

A color picker is used to select and adjust color values.

The eyedropper tool allows you to select and sample colors from any object or image in a file. Use the eyedropper to identify colors and apply them to your layers.

With Color Picker, you can choose any color from everywhere on your screen using the magnifier and selecting your desired pixel.

Currently read HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV, CMYK colors – and can convert the formats.
 

How to use this color code converter

1. Select your color the color model area
2. Our color code converter will show results interactively in the Color Codes section

Different Color Models

A color model is a way to define a specific color in different systems.

• Hex: Hexadecimal numbers are three-byte hexadecimal numbers (meaning they have six digits). Each byte, or pair of letters in the Hex code, signifying the color's intensity in red, green, and blue, respectively. The code bytes range from 00 (lowest) to ff (highest) (the highest).
• CMYK stands for cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K for "key"), and the color ranges from 0 to 100. Commercial printing equipment, for example, uses this color mode to create full-color graphics and images.
• RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) is Red, Green, and Blue. As a result, these are the three light hues that can be blended to form various colors. In an RGB color system, each color code ranges from 0 to 255.
• Pantone is a corporation that specializes in color matching goods, known as the Pantone Matching System or PMS for short.

The RGB Color Model (Red, Green, and Blue)

RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) is Red, Green, and Blue. Most digital images, such as those on your computer screen or in your digital camera, are created using these fundamental hues.
The RGB colour model is an additive colour model with a light component. This refers to the process of combining colours to obtain lighter shades.
You can make an absolute white by combining 100 percent red, green, and blue. Combining different combinations, on the other hand, will produce distinct colours. When red and green are combined, for example, you get yellow. Magenta is created by mixing red and blue, whereas cyan is made by mixing green and blue.

CMYK Colors

Colors in CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black). The hues CYAN, MAGENTA, YELLOW, and BLACK make up CMYK. RGB colour values are used to show colours on computer screens. Colors are frequently presented by printers using CMYK colour values. HTML does not support CMYK, although CSS4 proposes it as a new standard.

The HSV Color Model

HSL (hue, saturation, lightness) and HSV (for hue, saturation, value; also known as HSB, for hue, saturation, brightness) are alternative representations of the RGB color model.

HSV is a cylindrical color model that remaps the RGB primary colors into more accessible dimensions for humans to understand. Like the Munsell Color System, these dimensions are hue, saturation, and value.

• Hue specifies the angle of the color on the RGB color circle. A 0° hue results in red, 120° results in green, and 240° results in blue.
• Saturation controls the amount of color used. A color with 100% saturation will be the purest color possible, while 0% saturation yields grayscale.
• Value controls the brightness of the color. A color with 0% brightness is pure black, while a color with 100% brightness has no black mixed. Because this dimension is often called brightness, the HSV color model is sometimes called HSB.

Understanding hue: HSL and HSV

HSL - Hue, Saturation, Lightness
HSV - Hue, Saturation, Value

Choose the right colors for your palette

Creating color palettes can be hard. Designers spend a lot of time trying to create cohesion between the various colors on the rainbow.

Color picker match colors related to your existing composition; leads to color scheme ideas; and generate color shades, tones and tints values.

One big piece to the puzzle is color theory. Beyond the understanding of color theory you also need to understand how to choose the right colors for your palette.

Understanding color is the first step to applying it successfully in your design. Color theory is a complex subject that analyzes how different hues/shades interact with one another. However a few basic tips can lead to finding that perfect palette.

• Analogous palettes use colors that are close to each other on the color wheel.
• Complementary palettes are created with colors that sit opposite each other on the wheel in order to offer a sense of balance.
• The triadic method consists of three main colors equally spaced on the wheel, which makes for a diverse palette.
