Frequently Asked Questions

Is ColorPixer really free?
Yes — ColorPixer is 100% free with no sign-up, no ads, and no usage limits. All processing happens in your browser.
What is the RYB color wheel?
The RYB (Red-Yellow-Blue) color wheel is the traditional artist's color model used in painting and pigment mixing. Unlike the RGB model used by screens, RYB treats red, yellow, and blue as primary colors, making it ideal for understanding paint mixing and color theory.
Can I pick colors from any image?
Yes. Upload a PNG, JPG, WebP, or any browser-supported image format. The Image Color Picker samples the exact pixel color under your cursor with a magnifier for precision.
Does my image get uploaded to a server?
No. Your image is processed entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Nothing is sent to any server — your files stay private.
What color formats are supported?
ColorPixer displays and copies colors in HEX (#FF5733) and RGB (255, 87, 51) formats. The RYB wheel also shows RYB values.
