Questions
Good to know
Why an average of 3 by 3?
A photo is never flat: neighbouring pixels differ. The average of a small square gives the colour you see, not one odd pixel. For logos and screenshots, choose 1 pixel.
Can I pick a colour outside the picture?
In Chrome and Edge, yes: with Pick from your screen you point at a colour anywhere on your screen, in another window too. Other browsers don’t have it yet; there you work with a screenshot.
Is the colour exact?
It is the colour as your browser draws the picture, in sRGB. A photo with a wider colour profile may come out a touch differently in print or in a design app.
