At its core, a color picker is a graphical user interface (GUI) tool that allows you to select and adjust colors on a digital platform. It provides an intuitive way to choose colors from a wide spectrum and often offers various formats such as RGB (Red, Green, Blue), HEX (hexadecimal), HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness), and CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black). Color pickers empower designers by enabling them to precisely control color selection, ensuring consistency and accuracy across projects.
