Color Palette Extractor
Extract dominant image colors
The essentials
The Color Palette Extractor finds the dominant colors in any image and gives you ready-to-use hex codes for design work, branding, and theming.
How to use it
- Upload a photo, logo, or artwork.
- The tool samples the image and lists its dominant colors.
- Click any swatch to copy its hex code.
Pro tips
- Images with strong, distinct colors give the cleanest palettes.
- Pair extracted colors with the 60-30-10 rule for balanced designs.
- Use the darkest and lightest swatches to check text contrast.
Behind the result
The extractor downscales the image, then clusters pixel colors by similarity to find the dominant swatches — a fast statistical pass that runs entirely on your device and returns ready-to-copy hex codes.
