Frequently asked questions
How do I get a color palette from an image?
Add any photo, illustration or screenshot. The tool picks the most important colors automatically and shows where each one comes from. Drag a picker on the image to fine-tune a color, click the image to add one, then copy the codes or export the palette.
What do the moods do?
Balanced picks the colors that cover the most of your image. Vibrant favors the most saturated colors, Bright the light and lively ones, Muted the soft and dusty ones, and Deep the dark, rich tones — like the moods in Adobe Color.
Which formats can I export?
A palette image (PNG), CSS variables, SCSS, a Tailwind config, JSON, Adobe Swatch Exchange (.ase) for Photoshop and Illustrator, a GIMP/Inkscape palette (.gpl) and SVG swatches. You can also copy every HEX code at once.
Can I get tints and shades of a color?
Yes. Select any color to see an 11-step scale from very light (50) to very dark (950), generated in the perceptual OKLCH color space so steps look even. Click any step to copy it.
Does it check color contrast?
Yes. Every color shows its contrast ratio against white and black text with WCAG AA and AAA ratings, and the tool lists which pairs in your palette are readable together.
Is my image uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser — your image never leaves your device.
How do I extract colors from a photo?
Drop or paste the photo above. The main colors appear at once with their HEX, RGB and HSL codes and how much of the photo each covers. Click anywhere on the photo to grab that exact pixel, or drag a picker with the magnifier for precision.
Can I get the HEX code of one color in an image?
Yes. Click the spot in the image you want, or drag one of the pickers onto it, and copy its HEX code with one click. RGB, HSL and OKLCH are there too.
How many colors can I extract?
From 2 to 12. Lock any colors you like and they stay put while you change the count or mood.
