Frequently Asked Questions

How does the screen color picker work?

Our screen color picker allows you to select any color visible on your screen. When you click the "Pick Color" button, you can click anywhere on your screen (including other applications, websites, or images) to capture the exact color at that point. The tool uses browser APIs to detect the color value, which is then converted to HEX, RGB, and HSL formats for your convenience.

What's the difference between HEX, RGB, and HSL?

HEX: Hexadecimal notation (e.g., #00C4FF) - most common in web design, representing colors as six-digit codes.

RGB: Red, Green, Blue values (e.g., rgb(0, 196, 255)) - used in digital displays and web technologies.

HSL: Hue, Saturation, Lightness (e.g., hsl(195, 100%, 50%)) - more intuitive for humans to understand and adjust, where hue is the color type, saturation is intensity, and lightness is brightness.

Can I save my favorite color palettes?

Yes! You can save generated color palettes by clicking the "Save Palette" button. Saved palettes are stored in your browser's local storage, so they'll be available when you return to the site. You can also export any palette as a text file for backup or sharing with others. For more permanent storage, we recommend using dedicated design tools like Adobe Color or Figma.

What is color harmony and how does it work?

Color harmony refers to color combinations that are visually pleasing and work well together. Our tool generates several types of color harmonies:

  • Complementary: Colors opposite on the color wheel (high contrast)
  • Analogous: Colors next to each other (harmonious and natural)
  • Triadic: Three colors equally spaced (vibrant and balanced)
  • Monochromatic: Variations of the same hue (cohesive and elegant)
Is this color picker free to use?

Yes, our color picker is completely free with no limitations. You can pick unlimited colors, generate unlimited palettes, and use all features without registration or payment. We support our service through non-intrusive ads that don't interfere with the color picking experience.

Do you store any colors or personal data?

No, we do not store any colors or personal data on our servers. All color picking happens locally in your browser. Recent colors and saved palettes are stored temporarily in your browser's local storage only. We don't collect any information about the colors you pick or the palettes you create. Your privacy is our priority.

How do I ensure color accessibility in my designs?

For color accessibility, consider these guidelines:

  • Ensure sufficient contrast between text and background (minimum 4.5:1 for normal text)
  • Avoid using color alone to convey information
  • Test your color choices with color blindness simulators
  • Provide alternative text for color-coded information
  • Use tools like WebAIM Contrast Checker to verify accessibility
