Yes. When you upload an image, the tool automatically extracts 10 dominant colors and displays them in the “Palette” section. Click any swatch to get its code.
Why is the sampled color slightly different from what I expected?
There are two common reasons:
- Image Compression: JPG and other lossy formats can slightly alter color values.
- Color Profiles: Some images have specific color profiles that browsers interpret differently.
For the most accurate results, use PNG format.
