Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hex color code?

A hex color code is a 6-digit hexadecimal number (prefixed with #) that represents colors in web design and digital applications. The format is #RRGGBB where RR (red), GG (green), and BB (blue) are hexadecimal values between 00 and FF.

Why isn’t the screen color picker working in my browser?

The screen color picker uses the EyeDropper API which is currently only supported in Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Opera. If you’re using another browser like Firefox or Safari, you’ll need to use the sliders or enter hex codes manually.

Can I use this tool without an internet connection?

No, this is a web-based tool that requires an internet connection to load. However, once loaded, it may continue to work temporarily if you lose connection.

Our tool provides pixel-perfect color accuracy when using the screen color picker in supported browsers. The color conversions between different formats are mathematically precise.

Is there a limit to how many colors I can pick?
