About Color Palette Extraction
A color palette extracted from an image is a small set of colors that best represent the picture as a whole. Designers use extracted palettes to match a website or interface to a hero photo, build a brand color scheme from a logo, or keep slides and graphics visually consistent with photography.
This tool uses k-means clustering, a classic algorithm from statistics. The image is downsampled, every pixel becomes a point in 3D color space (red, green, blue), and the algorithm repeatedly groups pixels around moving "center" colors until the centers settle. Each final center is one dominant color, and the swatches are ordered by how many pixels belong to each cluster.
Because the analysis runs on a small sample of the image directly in your browser, it is fast and completely private - the photo is never sent anywhere. Use the slider to ask for anywhere between 3 and 10 colors, then copy single HEX values, a CSS custom-property block, or a JSON array for use in code.
