Where to find the codes
Open any wallpaper and look at the "Color palette" section. Each swatch shows a color name and its hex code, like #1A2B3C. Tap a swatch to copy the code straight to your clipboard.
What a hex code is
A hex code is a six-digit label for one exact color — two digits each for red, green and blue. #FFFFFF is pure white, #000000 is black, and everything sits in between. Every design tool, widget app and website accepts them, so a code copied here works anywhere.
Coordinate widgets and icons
Widget apps (Color Widgets and similar) and icon-theming tools let you paste a hex code as a background or accent. Pick one color from the palette for your widgets and a second for accents, and your home screen instantly looks curated instead of thrown together.
Build a matching theme
Use the darkest color as a background, the brightest as an accent for buttons or highlights, and a mid-tone for secondary text. This three-role split — background, accent, secondary — is exactly how designers work, and a wallpaper's palette hands you a set that already goes together.
Beyond the phone
The same codes work for a desktop setup, a Notion or slide theme, a profile banner or a small website. Because each color was sampled directly from the image, anything you paint with it matches the wallpaper exactly. Want to start from a color instead?
