About this tool

Building a color palette that actually matches a photo or reference image — for a website theme, a design project, a mood board — is much easier starting from the image's actual dominant colors than guessing at hex codes that seem close. This tool extracts an image's dominant color palette automatically, ready to copy as hex codes, giving you an accurate starting palette pulled directly from the image itself.
