Color tools: pick, build a palette, check contrast

Pick a color, copy its code, find a harmony or check a foreground against its background.

Choose the job you need

Need the code for one color?

Choose a color or enter its HEX, RGB or HSL values. Copy the representation your design tool expects. Color picker.

Choosing colors around a wheel?

Move the hue, then adjust saturation and lightness. Compare a complementary or triadic set before copying the colors. Color wheel picker.

Will the text be readable?

Check the actual foreground and background together. A pleasing palette does not establish text contrast. Color contrast checker.

Taking a color from a picture?

Open the image and choose the pixel you need; an image can contain many different shades of the same apparent color. Color picker from image.

Trying to turn hexadecimal bytes into letters? Use the HEX translator. A HEX color code describes a color, not a text message.
