Color Picker — free online tool
Pick a hue on the ring and fine-tune saturation and lightness on the pad—ideal when you have a rough colour in mind but need exact codes for CSS.
Saves switching between design apps when you only need a quick colour readout.
How to use Color Picker
- Drag the hue ring on the Color Picker to choose a base colour.
- Click or drag inside the saturation/lightness square to fine-tune the shade.
- Read HEX and RGB values updated beside the preview.
- Copy the code into your CSS, Figma notes, or style guide.
Practical tips
- Lock the hue first, then adjust saturation and lightness for a tidy tint/shade scale.
- Lower saturation for backgrounds and reserve vivid colours for small accents.
- Note that on-screen sRGB can look different in print—proof critical brand colours.
Limitations
Color Picker previews sRGB in the browser. Print and wide-gamut displays may look different from the on-screen swatch.

Frequently asked questions about Color Picker
Is the Color Picker free on Webtoolshop?
Yes. There is no sign-in and no paywall on this page. We may show advertising on some layouts to cover hosting.
Can I use the Color Picker on a phone?
Yes for light tasks. Very long pasted text, huge images, or multi-megabyte PDFs are easier on a laptop with more memory.
Why did the Color Picker fail or look wrong?
Try a smaller file, fewer pasted characters, or an updated browser. Extensions that block scripts or downloads sometimes interfere—test in a private window if results never appear.
