Color Palette Extractor

Get a colour palette from an image

Upload a photo, a painting, a logo, or a screenshot, and the tool picks out the 6 most dominant colours. It displays each as a hex code (#RRGGBB) that you can click to copy. Designers and frontend developers use this to build a colour scheme around a key image, like a hero banner on a website. If you're building a brand and the logo has a specific red, the extractor tells you the exact hex value so you can use it consistently across the site.

Practical uses in India

• Wedding card design: you have a photo of the venue decor and want the invitation's colour theme to match. Extract the palette from the photo.
• Festival posters: a Diwali diya photo has a beautiful orange and yellow gradient. Extract the colours for the poster's text and background.
• E-commerce: the product image has a background colour you want to match for the "Add to Cart" button. The extractor gives you that hex code.

Tip: The tool often picks up background colours if the image is mostly one tone. To get colours just from the subject, crop the image to the subject first using the image cropper, then extract the palette.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get RGB or HSL values instead of hex?

The tool displays hex codes. You can convert hex to RGB using the color converter tool on the site if needed.

Does it work with any image format?

Yes, JPEG, PNG, WebP, and BMP are supported.

How many colors does the tool extract?

It extracts the 6 most dominant colors from the image based on pixel sampling and clustering.

Is my image uploaded to a server to extract colors?

No, the analysis happens entirely in your browser. Your image never leaves your device.

Why does the palette include a background color I don't want?

If the image has a lot of one background tone, it can dominate the sample. Crop the image to just the subject first, then extract the palette for more focused results.
