Upload a photo, logo or screenshot and pull its dominant colors in seconds.Then turn them into a complete, contrast-checked color system you can ship.
No color theory required. The extraction and the contrast math happen for you.
Drag in a photo, logo or screenshot, paste from the clipboard, use your camera, or point at a URL. JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF and SVG up to 5MB.
The dominant colors are found with k-means clustering, weighted by how much of the image they cover. Drop any you don't want. Three or more are enough.
Those colors seed a 13-role palette with backgrounds, text tones and semantic states, every pairing checked for WCAG contrast and ready to export.
Most image color pickers hand you a strip of hex codes and leave the hard part to you. This one returns the thirteen roles a real interface needs, already balanced against each other.
The colors people remember. Buttons, links, highlights.
Page background, cards and dividers that sit under everything.
Three tones of copy, each checked against every surface.
Feedback colors that stay readable and on-brand.
Anything with a clear color story works. These four are the most common starting points.
A landscape, an interior, a mood-board shot. Natural scenes give warm, believable palettes.
Start from a logo to get a system that matches an existing identity exactly.
Capture a site or app you like and pull its palette into your own project.
Packaging and product photos translate cleanly into ecommerce and landing page colors.
How extraction works, what you can upload, and what happens to your files.
The image is sampled and its pixels are grouped with k-means clustering, which finds the handful of colors that cover most of the picture. Those become the extracted colors. They then seed a full 13-role color system, so you get backgrounds, text tones and state colors that work together, not just the raw picks.
JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF and SVG up to 5MB. You can drag and drop, click to browse, paste from the clipboard, take a photo with your camera, or paste an image URL.
Yes, and it is one of the best inputs. A logo usually has two to four deliberate colors, so the extracted set is clean and the generated system matches the existing identity closely.
Yes. After extraction you see each color with its hex code and can remove any of them. You need at least three left to generate a system.
Every text and background pairing is checked against WCAG 2.1 AA. If a pairing from your image fails, the tone is adjusted just enough to pass, and the result includes a contrast report so you can see what changed.
No. Images are processed to extract colors and are not kept. Only the palettes you choose to save are stored, so that they can be shared by link.
