What Is Color Palette Extraction?
This tool automatically analyzes and extracts the dominant colors from any image. Use it to pull brand colors from photos or illustrations, or to check the color balance of your designs.
It uses the Canvas API to read pixel data and calculates representative colors with an algorithm based on the Median Cut method.
Use Cases
- Web Design — Choose accent colors that complement a hero image
- Branding — Reverse-engineer a brand color palette from an existing logo or photo
- Accessibility — Check the contrast ratios of extracted colors (pairs with the Color Contrast Checker)
FAQ
- Q. What image formats are supported? — PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, SVG (rasterized), and any other format your browser can display.
