Pull dominant colors from an image

The fastest way to a palette that feels coherent is to take it from a photograph, because the colours in a real scene already sit together naturally. This tool analyses the pixels of an image on your own device, groups them into the dominant colours, and hands you the HEX and RGB values, ready to become a theme, a slide deck, or a brand palette.

How to extract colors from an image

  1. 1

    Upload an image

    Drop in a photo, illustration, or screenshot. It is decoded locally in the page.

  2. 2

    Review the palette

    The dominant colours are extracted and shown as swatches.

  3. 3

    Copy the values

    Take any colour as HEX or RGB for your CSS, design tool, or deck.

Good to know

  • Colours are ranked by how much of the image they occupy, so the first swatches are the ones that define its character.
  • Photographs with a clear subject and background produce cleaner palettes than busy, high-detail images.
  • A dominant colour is not automatically an accessible text colour — check contrast before using an extracted value for type.
  • The image is read locally, so a private mood-board photo never gets uploaded.

What people use it for

  • Building a website or slide theme around a hero photograph
  • Pulling brand colours out of a logo image you were sent without a style guide
  • Finding an accent colour that suits a specific product shot
