Color Palette Extractor

Finding the right color palette for a design project often starts with a reference photo. Instead of guessing hex codes or eyeballing values in Photoshop, you can upload your image here and get the dominant colors extracted automatically in under a second.

The tool analyzes every pixel, groups similar tones together, and returns the most prominent colors ranked by frequency. Each color comes with its hex code and RGB values, ready to paste into any design tool, CSS file, or brand guide.

Whether you are building a website, creating Instagram content, or preparing a client mood board, having an accurate color palette saves hours of trial and error.

The algorithm downsamples your image for speed, then applies color quantization to group the millions of possible RGB values into a manageable set of distinct tones. A minimum distance filter ensures the palette shows truly different colors rather than five shades of the same blue.

You can adjust the palette size from 4 to 12 colors. A smaller palette highlights only the most dominant tones, while a larger one captures subtle accent colors that might be useful for gradients or secondary brand elements.
