Three ways to pick. Grab a colour from your camera, type a hex code, or tap a swatch you've saved. Send any colour into the contrast checker to see if text would be readable on it.
Camera colours are approximate. A phone camera isn't a colorimeter — white balance, lighting and exposure shift what it sees, so treat a captured colour as "roughly this", not an exact paint match. The tool averages a small patch under the crosshair to steady the reading.
Privacy. The camera runs entirely on your device and the video never leaves it — colours are read from the live frame in your browser. Your saved palette is stored only on this device. Nothing is sent anywhere, and there are no accounts, cookies, tracking, or ads. See the full privacy page for what every tool sends and where.
