Overview

The tool "RGB Color Picker From Image" allows you to select a pixel in an image and get its RGB color code.

RGB stands for red, green and blue, the three primary colors of light that can be mixed to create any other color. Each color has a value between 0 and 255, and the combination of these values determines the final color. For example, RGB(255, 0, 0) is pure red, RGB(0, 255, 0) is pure green, and RGB(0, 0, 255) is pure blue.

Use the button to select and load your image, and then hover your mouse over the image. You will see a magnified view of the image area, and the corresponding RGB color code.

RGB Color Code

The RGB color code is based on the additive color model, which means that adding more light (increasing the values) makes the color brighter, and adding less light (decreasing the values) makes the color darker. For example, RGB(0, 0, 0) is black (no light), and RGB(255, 255, 255) is white (all light). The opposite of the additive color model is the subtractive color model, which is used for printing colors on paper.

The RGB color code can create any color by mixing different amounts of red, green and blue light. For exmaple, the RGB color code for yellow is (255, 255, 0), which means red and green are at full intensity and blue is absent. The RGB color code for magenta is (255, 0, 255), which means red and blue are at full intensity and green is absent.
