Because of how difficult it is for web designers to mentally envision a hex Code that is close to a particular Color they want, many web design programs include features that allow users to select colors from a visual spectrum and then copy and paste the corresponding hex code. There are many freely usable online resources that offer the same function because of how important it is to digital artists and designers that they can easily access the precise code for a very specific tone of an otherwise basic color. A lot of these tools strive to offer their own supplementary features to distinguish themselves from the rest. In many cases, these features aim to help users settle upon sets of complimentary colors that can work as a website's color scheme.

For example, the color picker found at hue.tools lets the user pick any two base colors and subsequently copy not only their respective color codes but also the codes for many dynamically determined colors set in between them. These intermediary colors are displayed on the tool as separate bars that can be clicked so that their codes are immediately copied onto the user's system clipboard. On the other hand, the user may toggle a setting to replace this overall series of "color steps" with a unified image of a linear gradient in order to see whether the base colors would work as a hue for either a background or something else. Either way, the user may also click and copy the code for the color that would result from equally mixing the two base colors.

Adding to this resource's power as a tool is that many additional base colors can be chosen to create much more complex hues and gradients. The tool also goes out of its way to display the official non-technical name of the color that a given base color's code is closest to, including niche color variations such as "Bellflower" and "Spearmint." Finally, the resource also lets the user copy dynamically generated CSS code that would recreate the currently displayed gradient without relying on image files.
