How Do I Copy a Background Color in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 4:13 pm

There are a few ways to copy a background color in Photoshop. One way is to use the color picker tool.

With the color picker tool selected, click on the background color you want to copy. The color code will appear in the “Color” field at the bottom of the Photoshop window. You can then enter this color code in the “hex” field of the HTML code for your web page.

Another way to copy a background color is to use the eyedropper tool. With the eyedropper tool selected, click on the background color you want to copy. Then, in the “Swatches” panel, click on the “New Swatch” button.

PRO TIP: If you are using Photoshop to copy a background color, be aware that the color you are copying may not be the same as the color of the background you are trying to match. Make sure to check the color values of both the source and destination colors to ensure a accurate color match.

A dialog box will appear where you can name your new swatch and choose a color model. Click “OK” to add your new swatch. You can then select this swatch from the “Swatches” panel and use it as the background color for your web page.

You can also use an image as a background color. To do this, create a new layer in Photoshop and fill it with the color you want to use.

Then, drag this layer below your other layers and set its opacity to 50%. This will allow your background image to show through while still giving your web page a solid background color.
