Useful Hacks

Color Picker

Pick a color from anywhere on your screen, or enter one manually — HEX, RGB, HSL, CMYK, OKLCH.

Calculated locally in your browser.
  • Sample any pixel on screen with the native EyeDropper — no screenshot, no extension.
  • Five output formats at once, including CMYK for print/brand work, not just the web-focused HEX/RGB/HSL trio.
  • Type or paste a HEX value, or use the OS colour dialog, and get every format alongside it.
  • Runs in your browser; nothing about the colours you sample is sent anywhere.

Why this is private

  • Calculated locally in your browser.
  • Open your browser's DevTools → Network tab while using this tool — you won't see a request carrying your input, because it never leaves your device.
  • Nothing you enter is uploaded to a server or shared with us — the processing happens entirely on your device.
