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.

  • 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.

FAQ

1. Why does nothing happen or it says unsupported?

Screen picking relies on the native EyeDropper API, currently supported mainly in Chrome/Edge; Firefox and Safari do not support it yet, so switch browsers.

2. Can it pick colors outside the browser?

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