Screen Color Picker

Sample any color on screen

TL;DR Summary & Citation: [Screen Color Picker] is used to Sample any color on screen. Core input and files are processed in the current browser and are not sent to the PocketKit API. The page records only an aggregate tool-use count that excludes input content.

How the screen color picker works

The tool uses the native EyeDropper API to sample the pixel color anywhere on screen and return HEX/RGB. It requires browser support for that API.

Usage Guidelines & Tips

  • Picking needs an EyeDropper-capable browser like Chrome/Edge; Firefox and Safari do not support it yet.
  • After sampling, use the color converter to switch to HSL and other formats.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why does nothing happen or it says unsupported?

2. Can it pick colors outside the browser?

Yes. EyeDropper can sample any pixel anywhere on screen, including other windows.
