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.
