Image Color Palette Extractor
Extract the main colours from an image as a ready-to-use palette.
Colours from a picture
An image often contains a colour scheme worth reusing — a photo whose mood you want to match, a design whose palette you admire. This pulls the dominant colours out of an image into a palette, so you can build around the colours that already work together in a picture.

Why image palettes feel harmonious
Palettes drawn from photographs often feel naturally harmonious, because the colours in a real scene already relate to each other through shared light and setting — which is why extracting from a well-chosen image is a reliable shortcut to a pleasing scheme. The extraction finds the most prominent colours, though you usually want to refine the result: pick out the few that make a coherent palette rather than every colour present, and check that the set includes enough contrast for text if you are designing with it. It is a genuinely useful way to ground a design in a mood or an image, and it all happens in your browser, so your picture stays on your device.
Questions & answers
Why do palettes from photos look harmonious?
Because the colours in a real scene already relate through shared light and setting, so a palette drawn from a good image tends to feel coherent.
Should I use every extracted colour?
No — pick the few that form a coherent palette, and check the set has enough contrast if you will use it for text.
Is my image uploaded?
No. The extraction happens in your browser, so your picture stays on your device.
