Live Camera Color Picker
for real-world color capture
Use your phone camera or webcam as a free online camera color extractor. Point it at walls, fabrics, products, packaging, or scenery, then capture real-world colors in milliseconds with five live sampling markers. No photo upload needed.
Real-Time Color Detection From Phone or Webcam
Turn physical inspiration into a reusable palette without taking a photo first.
Real-Time Color Detection
The camera feed is analyzed frame-by-frame in real time. Each of the five markers reads the exact color at its position every single frame — giving you true live color feedback as you move them around.
- 60 fps sampling — colors update instantly as the scene changes
- Pixel-accurate — reads the exact color at each marker position
- No server needed — everything runs directly in your browser
- No photos stored — video feed never leaves your device
5 Draggable Color Markers
Each numbered circle can be dragged anywhere on the live camera feed. As you move a marker, its color updates in real time — along with the live palette strip at the bottom of the viewport.
- Touch & drag on mobile — fully responsive to finger input
- Mouse drag on desktop — works with trackpad or mouse
- Each marker shows its number and sampled color fill
- Palette bar updates live as you reposition any marker
