Understanding Color Codes

HEX codes (e.g., #e2c044) are the universal format for digital color, used in CSS, web design, and most graphic tools. Each code represents a unique color.
RGB values (e.g., rgb(34, 154, 187)) are also used in design and printing. All HEX codes shown here can be easily converted to RGB—just use our HEX to RGB Converter!

Expert Tips for Better Color Extraction

  • Use high-quality, well-lit, and focused images for more accurate palettes.
  • Avoid uploading images with busy gradients or heavy filters—solid areas of color work best.
  • Want an extended or custom palette? Use this tool to extract base colors, then expand with our Palette Generator.
  • For exact pixel color picking, use the Color Picker Tool.
  • HEX codes are ideal for web and digital; use RGB for print or when working with CMYK conversions.
