Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the colour?
It reads the exact RGB value of the pixel from the decoded image data, so it is exact. Note that your monitor’s colour profile can make the same value look different on another screen.
How are the dominant colours chosen?
By quantising the image into colour buckets and ranking them by pixel count, then filtering out near-duplicates. That surfaces the colours a person would describe as dominant rather than the mathematical average.
Can I pick a colour from a screenshot?
Yes. Take a screenshot, load it here, and sample any pixel. That is the simplest way to identify a colour from an app or website you cannot inspect directly.
What is CMYK used for?
Print. CMYK describes ink coverage rather than emitted light, and the conversion shown here is a straightforward mathematical one. Commercial printing needs an ICC-profile conversion for accurate results.
