Designers and developers use HEX colors in web design. A HEX color is expressed as a six-digit combination of numbers and letters defined by its mix of red, green and blue (RGB). Basically, a HEX color code is shorthand for its RGB values with a little conversion gymnastics in between.

Hex codes are a universal way to describe colours. They work seamlessly across all digital platforms, software, and devices. Whether you're designing a website in Vancouver or Tokyo, a hex code like #0088CC will always produce the same shade of blue.

Here are some simple steps to follow: Go to https://imagecolorpicker.com/ and select Use Your Image to upload an image of your choice or paste an image from your clipboard. Select the image to pick a color. The tool will display the HEX color code, RGB value, and HSV value of the selected pixel.

Hex color codes start with a pound sign or hashtag (#) and are followed by six letters and/or numbers. The first two letters/numbers refer to red, the next two refer to green, and the last two refer to blue. The color values are defined in values between 00 and FF (instead of from 0 to 255 in RGB).
