About Extract Color Palette from Image

This tool samples an image and shows its eight most frequent colors as clickable swatches with hex codes. To group similar shades, the image is scaled down and each color channel is rounded to steps of 32 before counting, so the palette reflects broad color areas rather than every tiny variation.

Click a swatch to copy its hex value, ready to paste into CSS, a design file or a brand guide. The palette is calculated as soon as the image loads, entirely in your browser. Use it to pull theme colors from a photo, match a site to a logo, or get a quick read on the main tones of an illustration.

How to use it

  1. Upload an image.
  2. Open the Palette tab.
  3. Review the eight extracted swatches.
  4. Click a swatch to copy its hex code.

Questions

Can I pick the color of a specific pixel?

No. The tool shows the most common colors overall; there is no pointer-based color picker.

Why are the hex values rounded?

Channels are grouped into steps of 32 so near-identical shades merge into one swatch. The values are close to, but not always exactly, the original pixels.

How many colors does it return?

Up to eight, sorted from most to least common.
