Extract Dominant Color Palettes from Any Photo with HEX Codes Instantly

Color Palette Extractor analyzes any photograph and identifies the dominant colors, returning a professional color palette with HEX codes, RGB values, and descriptive color names. This runs entirely in your browser — no AI processing required — using the Canvas API to sample and cluster pixel colors in real time.

The tool uses k-means clustering to group similar colors and identify the most visually significant hues in an image. Rather than returning raw pixel values, it identifies the perceptual centers of each color cluster — the colors that a human eye would recognize as the "main colors" of the image. Each color in the palette comes with a dominance percentage showing how much of the image it occupies.

Designers use Color Palette Extractor to extract brand colors from logos, derive interior design palettes from room photos, identify seasonal color trends from fashion photography, and quickly generate harmonious color schemes from reference images for websites, presentations, and product designs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many colors does the palette contain?
The tool extracts between 5 and 8 dominant colors by default. You can adjust the palette size using the color count slider — more colors reveal subtle tones, fewer colors highlight the dominant hues.
Q: Does this work on photos with lots of similar colors?
Yes. K-means clustering handles monochromatic and analogous color schemes well, separating them into their distinct shades. A beach photo with blues and greens will correctly separate sky blue from ocean blue from seafoam green.
Q: Can I use the extracted colors in Figma, Photoshop, or CSS?
Absolutely. Click any swatch to copy the HEX code, which works in all design tools and CSS. The RGB values can be entered directly into Photoshop's color picker. For CSS, you can also use the HSL values for easier color manipulation.
