Palette From Image
Build a colour palette from the colours in a photo you provide.
A scheme drawn from a picture
A photograph you love often holds a colour scheme worth designing around — the tones of a landscape, the palette of a room, the colours of a brand image. This builds a palette from the colours in an image, giving you a coordinated set drawn from a picture whose colours already work together.
Add an image to build a palette from it.
Turning image colours into a usable palette
Palettes taken from real images tend to feel naturally harmonious, because the colours in a photograph already relate through the shared light of the scene — which makes a well-chosen image a shortcut to a coherent scheme. The step that turns extracted colours into a working palette is curation: rather than taking every colour, pick a small set that forms a clear structure — a dominant, a supporting colour or two, an accent — and check the palette has enough contrast for text if you will design with it. Used this way, sampling a mood or a brand from an image is one of the most reliable and pleasant ways to arrive at a palette, and it all happens in your browser.
Questions & answers
Why do image palettes feel harmonious?
Because a photo's colours already relate through the shared light of the scene, so a palette drawn from a good image tends to feel coherent.
How do I turn image colours into a usable palette?
Curate — pick a small set that forms a dominant, supporting and accent structure, and check it has enough contrast for text.
Is my image uploaded?
No. The palette is built in your browser, so your image stays on your device.
