Security best practices when using Color Picker
What to think about before publishing a color generated by Color Picker on the open internet. Browser-based, free, no signup, runs entirely on your device.
Generating a color sounds like it should require an app — and historically it did. Color Picker runs the same thing in your browser tab, with one tap and no signup.

Security considerations
Generating a color that ends up on the public internet means anyone can read it. That's fine for non-sensitive content. It's not fine for anything you don't want exposed. Color Picker doesn't make this distinction for you — but you should make it before you generate.
Safe defaults
- Never embed credentials, API keys, or personal IDs in a color you publish publicly
- Be wary of colors on printed material — they can be photographed, copied, and reused
- For sensitive use cases, generate a color that expires (or maps to a server-side resource you can revoke)

Everything happens locally in your browser — your file never leaves your device.
