  • array: [255, 255, 255, 1]
  • string (rgb): rgb(255, 255, 255)

// create an image
$img = Image::make('public/foo.jpg');

// pick a color at position as array
$arraycolor = $img->pickColor(100, 100);

// pick a color at position as integer
$intcolor = $img->pickColor(100, 100, 'int');

// pick a color at position and format it as hex string
$hexcolor = $img->pickColor(100, 100, 'hex');
