How to Use a Color Picker in HTML
Using
HTML color codes in your website or blog posts can help you save time and effort when styling your page because you don’t have to manually type in every single color code by hand. Instead, you just choose the color you want from the Color Picker tool, and then copy and paste the color code into your HTML document. It’s that easy! Learn how to use Color Picker HTML with this guide on the subject.
Color List
View a list of all web-safe colors and RGB, hexadecimal, and named values of those colors. The color picker supports 7 different color models. Copy Paste Values: Copy-paste any color from our visual color list into your HTML editor (not just text!). Save Your Own Colors: You can also save your own custom colors by clicking on New Color. Drag and Drop: drag and drop any RGB or HEX number directly into our visual code, then copy it into your code. It's that easy! Select and Select: Clicking on one of our hexes will give you access to both the Hex ID and RGB Decimal Values so you can work with what you need.
Color Code
Learning how to write code is essential for any job. In fact, many colleges teach computer programming skills before they even show you how to use a computer. If you're applying for an entry-level job and don't have at least some basic experience writing code, don't expect an employer to train you—the cost of doing so is just too high. That said, these days employers are usually willing to overlook your lack of prior coding knowledge if you promise that you're willing and able to learn on the job. You can make that promise by learning how to write Color Code.
Color Converter
Instead of diving right into your HTML, create an online color converter first. Then you can use that code as your base. This way you know everything is uniform and it’s easier to go back and add anything else you want (such as body text). When using an online color picker, make sure it's valid HTML so you won't have any errors when copying and pasting. Most will be but it's worth checking before you start copy/pasting your code just to be safe. It's also important to check color name vs hex code. Color names are what most people use but hex codes offer more accurate representations of each color which is especially important when designing for different browsers.
HEX, RGB and CMYK Codes
A basic color code consists of 3 different numbers: 1 for red, 1 for green, and 1 for blue. The format is #RRGGBB, where RR is red, GG is green and BB is blue. Take note that each letter can only be a value between 0-9. So you could use #CF1234 but not #CFFFAB.
Web Safe Colors
Designing web content that uses only web-safe colors (colors available on virtually every computer and web browser) is important for creating professional websites. Before you choose your own colors, find out if they are websafe by using a color picker. Color pickers show you all of your options, not just those you’re aware of. For example, most designers know about red-green-blue (RGB) values and can quickly find them when building websites—but did you know there are also RGB percentages? For full, true web safety, use color codes that include all possibilities: #000000 for black, #FF0000 for red, etc. The program I use is Kuler from Adobe – it’s free and very easy to use.
Color Palettes
Colors are powerful. They can conjure emotions, influence buying decisions, and add depth and style to your designs. Yet picking out individual colors can be a big challenge. Luckily, there’s an easy solution—color palettes. A palette is simply a collection of color schemes that go together beautifully. You can use pre-made palettes or create your own by mixing and matching different colors on your favorite design tool (my favorite is Adobe Color CC). Color palettes make it easy to find complementary colors that work well together—plus they save you time when you’re designing!
