About Color Palette Extraction
Color palette extraction analyzes an image to identify its dominant colors. This is invaluable for designers who want to create cohesive color schemes based on photographs, artwork, or brand imagery.
The algorithm samples pixels across the image and groups similar colors using quantization. The result is a curated set of representative colors that capture the image's visual essence.
Extracted palettes are perfect for web design, branding projects, interior decoration planning, and any creative work where you need harmonious color combinations derived from real-world sources.

Can I extract colors from a logo?
Yes. Logos typically have distinct, well-defined colors that the tool extracts clearly. Upload your logo image and the brand colors will be identified.
