Question 1

How do I find the exact color from a website logo?

Accepted Answer

Take a screenshot of the logo, then upload it here and click the color you want to sample. You'll get the exact HEX, RGB, and HSL values. Alternatively, use browser DevTools (Inspect Element) and look for color values in the CSS, or use the browser's built-in color picker in the DevTools eyedropper.

Question 2

What is the difference between HEX, RGB, and HSL?

Accepted Answer

HEX and RGB describe the same color in different notations — HEX is hexadecimal RGB (#FF8000 = rgb(255,128,0)). HSL describes color differently: Hue (which color wheel position, 0–360°), Saturation (how vivid vs grey), and Lightness (how light vs dark). HSL is more intuitive for creating variations — to make a color lighter, increase Lightness; to make it less vivid, decrease Saturation.

Question 3

Why does the palette show quantized colors?

Accepted Answer

The dominant color palette groups similar colors by rounding RGB values to the nearest 32-unit step. This prevents showing 50 slightly different shades of the same blue. The result shows the most common color families in the image, useful for identifying the overall palette rather than every individual shade.

Question 4

How do I use extracted colors in CSS?

Accepted Answer

Once you have the HEX code (e.g. #3B82F6), use it directly in CSS: color: #3B82F6; or background-color: #3B82F6; For a design system, store them as CSS custom properties: :root { --brand-blue: #3B82F6; } then reference as color: var(--brand-blue). Most CSS-in-JS solutions and Tailwind also accept HEX values directly.
