How to use
When it helps
When you want to bring the colors of a photo or poster into your own design, picking similar colors by eye rarely matches. Pulling the colors that are actually used in the image gives you exact values for thumbnails, slides or brand colors.
This tool groups similar pixels together (k-means clustering) to find the main colors and shows how much of the image each color covers. Changing the number of colors lets you see everything from the broad mood colors to small accent colors.
You can also click the image like an eyedropper to pick the color at a specific point. Copy the colors as CSS variables for web work, or save the palette as an image to share with your team.
FAQ
The colors change slightly each time.
The main colors are calculated from a sample of pixels, so results can differ a little between runs. If you need one exact color, click that spot in the image.
Are transparent areas counted?
No. Nearly transparent pixels are left out of the calculation.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. All color calculations happen inside your browser.
What format are the CSS variables?
They are copied as :root { --color-1: #aabbcc; }, ready to paste into a stylesheet.
Does it work with large photos?
Yes. The image is scaled down for the calculation, so even large photos are processed quickly.
