Color Picker

← All tools

Drag the sliders or open the native color picker to land on a color, and hueshift shows you the HEX, RGB, HSL and ready-to-paste CSS for it at the same time. Everything updates as you move — there's no separate “convert” step.

How to use the Color Picker

  1. Click the color swatch to open your browser's native picker, or drag the Hue, Saturation and Lightness sliders.
  2. Watch the HEX, RGB, HSL and CSS values update live below the preview.
  3. Click Copy next to any value to put it straight on your clipboard.
  4. On supported browsers, use “Pick from screen” to sample a color from anywhere in the browser window with the EyeDropper tool.

FAQ

Does this work offline?
Yes — once the page has loaded, the picker runs entirely in JavaScript in your browser. No color ever leaves your device.
Why does my copied HSL look different from a design tool I use?
Some tools store hue in radians or use different rounding. hueshift rounds to whole degrees and percentages, which matches CSS's own hsl() syntax.
Can I paste in a value instead of using the sliders?
Yes — the color swatch itself accepts typed input in supporting browsers, or use the Color Converter for typing HEX, RGB or HSL directly.
Is the “Pick from screen” eyedropper available everywhere?
It uses the browser's EyeDropper API, currently supported in Chromium-based browsers. The button only appears when your browser supports it.
