Technologies Used

• HTML5: For the basic structure of the web page.
• CSS3: For styling the user interface and responsiveness.
• JavaScript (ES6+): For all the client-side logic, including:
  • Image uploading and reading (FileReader API).
  • Drawing the image onto a Canvas (Canvas API).
  • Pixel data manipulation (getImageData) for color picking.
  • DOM manipulation to display results.

How to Use Locally

1. Clone the repository (if applicable) or download the files:

   • If you have this project in a Git repository:

     git clone <repository-url>
     cd <repository-directory>

   • Otherwise, ensure you have index.html, style.css, and script.js in the same folder.

2. Open index.html in your web browser:

   • Navigate to the project folder in your file explorer.
   • Double-click the index.html file, or right-click and choose "Open with" your preferred web browser.

3. Using the App:

   • Click the "Upload an Image" button (or the label next to it) to select an image from your computer.
   • Once the image is loaded, click anywhere on the image to pick a color.
   • The color preview box, RGB value, and HEX code will update with the selected color's details.
