How to use this tool
Choose a photo and click a point. Images wider than 900 pixels are scaled down, so the reported coordinates belong to that canvas rather than the original file.
Results and examples
A white point with RGB 255, 255, 255 yields #ffffff. At an edge, resampling can mix colours; a broad uniform area provides a clearer sample.
Worked example
A white point with RGB 255, 255, 255 yields #ffffff. At an edge, resampling can mix colours; a broad uniform area provides a clearer sample.
Limitations
- Downscaling can change individual pixel values.
- This is not an ICC-profile audit or a print colour measuring instrument.

Frequently asked questions
Which HEX value represents white?
A white point with RGB 255, 255, 255 yields #ffffff. At an edge, resampling can mix colours; a broad uniform area provides a clearer sample.
Why might an editor report a slightly different value?
Downscaling can change individual pixel values. This is not an ICC-profile audit or a print colour measuring instrument.
