Whether you're a graphic designer seeking inspiration from nature photography, a web developer analyzing competitor websites, or a brand manager defining your company's visual identity, our Color Palette Extractor provides the most accurate and efficient solution for extracting dominant colors from any image.
Advanced Color Extraction Technology
Our tool employs sophisticated K-means clustering algorithms to analyze every pixel in your image and identify the most visually significant colors. Unlike simple color counting methods, our advanced algorithm considers color distribution, visual weight, and perceptual importance to deliver a palette that truly represents your image's essence.
The extraction process supports 3 to 10 colors, giving you complete flexibility whether you need a minimal 3-color scheme for a logo or a comprehensive 10-color palette for a complete brand identity system. Each extracted color includes precise hex codes, RGB values, and HSL color space representations, ensuring compatibility with every design tool and platform.

Our built-in color picker tool allows you to click anywhere on your uploaded image to sample exact colors with pixel-perfect accuracy.
