Compare nearby pixels when a region contains texture or compression noise.

Treat sampled values as a starting point and verify contrast in the final design.

Straight answers

Image Color Picker questions

Why does a color change when I move one pixel?

Photos and compressed graphics often contain many nearby shades, even where the area looks uniform at normal size.

Which color value should I use for CSS?

HEX and RGB both work well for solid CSS colors. HSL can be convenient when you plan to adjust lightness or saturation.

Does the tool generate an entire palette automatically?

No. You choose the specific pixels and save only the swatches useful to you.
