    What is Color Palette Extractor?

    Load an image and pull out approximate dominant colors with HEX, RGB, and percentage values for design references, CSS, and brand notes.

    How to extract a color palette

    How colors are sampled

    The extractor scales the image down for speed, samples pixels, ignores mostly transparent pixels, and groups nearby RGB values into buckets. The percentages describe the sampled image, not an exact laboratory color count.

    Choosing the color count

    Use fewer colors when you need a compact brand or UI palette. Use more colors when the image has several important accents, gradients, or product colors.

    Using the palette

    • Copy HEX for CSS variables, design tokens, or quick color swatches.
    • Use RGB when a design tool or canvas workflow expects numeric channels.
    • Check contrast separately before using a sampled color for text.

    Image handling

    The palette is an approximation from the loaded image. For brand-critical work, compare the sampled values with official brand tokens or source design files.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why is the extracted color slightly different from the pixel I expected?

    Nearby colors are grouped into buckets after sampling, so the result represents dominant color areas rather than one exact pixel.

    Are transparent pixels counted?

    Mostly transparent pixels are ignored, which keeps transparent backgrounds from dominating the palette.

    Can I extract exactly one brand color?

    Use the palette as a starting point. For an exact brand value, sample from the original design file or official brand guide.

    Why do gradients produce several close colors?

    Gradients contain many neighboring tones. Lower the color count for a simpler palette or keep more colors when the gradient itself matters.
