An Online Color Picker is a utility that allows you to select colors visually using your browser's built-in color selection interface or generate random colors. Once a color is chosen, the tool typically displays its corresponding codes in various formats like HEX (hexadecimal), RGB (Red, Green, Blue), and HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness).
Zenfied's Color Picker is designed for simplicity and speed. It leverages your browser's native color input capabilities and offers a quick way to get color codes for your design and development projects. All operations are client-side, meaning no data is sent to our servers, ensuring your interactions are private.
- Pick a Color:
- Click on the color input area (often labeled "Pick color here" or showing a color swatch ). This will open your browser's native color selection dialog.
- Use the interface provided by your browser (e.g., color wheel, sliders, swatches, possibly an eyedropper tool if your browser supports it) to select your desired color.
- Generate a Random Color: Alternatively, click the "Random Color " button to instantly generate a random color.
- View Color Preview: The "Color Preview" box will update to show the color you've selected or generated.
- Get Color Codes: The selected color's values in HEX, RGB, and HSL formats will be instantly displayed in the "Selected Color" results area.
- Copy Codes: Use the " Copy" buttons next to each format (HEX, RGB, HSL) to copy the respective code to your clipboard.
- Browser-Native Picker: Utilizes your browser's familiar and powerful color selection interface.
- Random Color Generation: Get instant color inspiration with a single click.
- Live Color Preview: Immediately see the color you've selected or generated.
- Multiple Code Formats: Provides HEX, RGB, and HSL codes for the selected color.
- Easy Copy-to-Clipboard: Quickly copy any of the color codes.
- Secure & Private: All processing is done client-side in your browser.
- Fast & Lightweight: Loads quickly and operates efficiently.
- Completely Free: Pick and generate colors without any cost.
- No Installation Needed: Works directly in modern web browsers.
Our Color Picker tool combines browser features with simple JavaScript for its functionality:
- Native Color Input: The core picking mechanism uses the HTML
element. When you click it, your browser presents its own user interface for color selection. The color you choose in this dialog is then passed back to our tool as a HEX value.
- Random Color Generation: When you click the "Random Color" button:
- The script generates three random numbers, each between 0 and 255, representing the Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) components of a color.
- This random RGB color is then set as the value for the color input and preview.
- Displaying Codes:
- Once a color is selected (either manually or randomly), its HEX value is directly available.
- The tool then uses JavaScript functions to convert this HEX value (or the generated RGB value) into its equivalent RGB and HSL representations. These calculations are standard color model conversions.
- Live Preview: The "Color Preview" div's background color is updated in real-time to match the selected color.
Because it leverages built-in browser capabilities and simple scripts, the tool is very responsive and doesn't require any server-side processing.
- Quick & Easy Selection: Effortlessly pick colors using a familiar interface.
- Design Inspiration: Use the random color generator to discover new color ideas.
- Developer Friendly: Instantly get HEX, RGB, and HSL codes needed for web development and CSS.
- For Artists & Designers: A handy tool for quickly finding and referencing color codes for digital projects.
- Streamlined Workflow: Avoids the need for complex software just to pick a color and get its codes.
- Accessible Anywhere: Use it on any device with a modern web browser.
- Learning Tool: See how a single color is represented across different common color models.

How do I use the color selection dialog?
When you click the color input (labeled "Pick color here" or similar), your browser will open its own color picker dialog. The exact appearance and features of this dialog vary by browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.) and operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS). Most offer a color wheel, sliders for hue/saturation/brightness, and sometimes an eyedropper tool to pick colors from anywhere on your screen.
Does this tool have an on-screen eyedropper?
This tool itself doesn't provide a custom on-screen eyedropper. However, the native color picker dialog that your browser opens when you click the color input might include an eyedropper feature. This depends on your specific browser and its version. For example, Chrome's color picker often includes an eyedropper tool.
Can I pick colors with transparency (alpha)?
The standard HTML element and this tool primarily deal with opaque colors (HEX, RGB, HSL). While some browser color pickers might allow you to select an alpha value, this tool will currently display the opaque color equivalent. Support for RGBA/HSLA might be considered in future updates.
How random is the "Random Color" feature?
The "Random Color" feature generates colors by picking random values (0-255) for each of the Red, Green, and Blue channels. While this produces a wide spectrum of colors, it's based on pseudo-random number generation common in programming, which is sufficient for design inspiration but not cryptographically random.
Can I type in a HEX/RGB/HSL code to see the color?
This particular tool is designed for *picking* colors visually or generating them randomly. To convert typed codes, please use our Online Color Converter tool, which is specifically designed for that purpose. Some browser-native color pickers might allow you to input HEX/RGB values directly into their dialog.
