Upload an image and extract a cohesive color scheme with primary, secondary, and accent color suggestions.
This tool reads the pixels of an uploaded image and reduces the full range of colors down to a small palette, then sorts the result into primary, secondary, and accent roles based on how much of the image each color covers. It hands back hex and RGB values you can drop into CSS, a design tool, or a style guide. The thing people misjudge most: the biggest color patch in a photo is often a plain background, sky, or shadow rather than the subject itself, so 'primary' can come back as an off-white or grey instead of the color someone would point to if you asked them to describe the image.
The image is read pixel by pixel, or a representative sample for larger images, and colors that sit visually close to each other are grouped together. That collapses the thousands of near-unique pixel values a typical photo contains into a short list of representative swatches, rather than trying to preserve every individual shade actually present in the file.
Once the palette is reduced, the remaining swatches are ranked, generally by how much image area each one occupies, and the top few are labeled primary, secondary, and accent. Each is shown with its hex and RGB values as an individual swatch, so you can copy one color at a time instead of exporting the whole palette as a single unlabeled block.
Not reliably. The tool reads whatever colors are actually present in the pixels of the file you upload, and those are affected by JPEG compression, camera white balance, and screen calibration. Treat the result as a close starting point for a palette, then check individual colors against your documented brand hex codes rather than substituting one for the other.
No, the analysis runs in your browser against the image you load, so the file itself is not uploaded anywhere. The practical effect is that very large or high-resolution images may take a moment longer to process locally, since decoding speed depends on your device rather than a remote server.
