How to use the colour picker

  1. Drag inside the saturation square and move the hue and alpha sliders, or type a value into any of the HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV or CMYK fields — they all stay in sync.
  2. Click a swatch in the palettes to make it the new picked colour; every swatch shows its hex on hover and copies on click-and-hold of the copy button.
  3. Set a background colour in the contrast checker to see the WCAG ratio and whether it passes AA or AAA.

FAQ

What is the eyedropper button?

Chrome, Edge and other Chromium browsers expose the EyeDropper API, which lets you sample any pixel on your screen. The button is hidden in browsers that do not support it; nothing is captured or uploaded either way.

Which contrast ratio do I need?

WCAG 2.1 asks for at least 4.5:1 for normal body text and 3:1 for large text (18.66px bold or 24px regular) at level AA. Level AAA raises those to 7:1 and 4.5:1. Icons, borders and form outlines need 3:1.

Why does CMYK not match my printer?

CMYK here is the simple mathematical conversion used on the web. Real printing uses an ICC profile for a specific ink and paper combination, so treat these numbers as a starting point rather than a press-ready value.
