About Palette Generator
The fastest way to a color palette that actually works together is stealing one from reality. Photos already contain balanced color relationships — light, shadow, subject — and this palette generator extracts those dominant colors into a working scheme: drop in an image, receive 5–10 extracted colors, and export them in the format your project speaks.
All extraction runs client-side in your web browser. No photos are uploaded to external servers, and your designs stay completely private.
How to Extract Color Schemes from Images
Upload any JPG, PNG, or WebP photo — a landscape, product shot, artwork, or architecture photo. The tool analyzes pixel distribution and extracts dominant color clusters. Adjust granularity controls to reveal subtle secondary tones.
Color Blindness Accessibility Testing
Roughly 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women perceive colors differently — most commonly red-green deficiency. The built-in simulation re-renders your extracted palette through protanopia, deuteranopia, and tritanopia lenses so you can verify WCAG contrast before writing code.
Instant Code Export (CSS, SCSS, JSON)
Export your full palette as CSS custom properties (:root variables), SCSS tokens, or structured JSON for Figma and React design systems with one click. You can also download high-resolution PNG swatch sheets for client mood boards.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many colors can I extract?
Between 5 and 10 dominant colors per image, controlled by the granularity setting. Increase granularity to reveal subtler shades within busy images.
Will extraction work on illustrations and gradients?
Yes. Flat illustrations yield clean discrete colors, while photographs and gradients produce balanced tones.
What do the color blindness simulations show?
They re-render your palette as people with common color vision deficiencies perceive it (protanopia, deuteranopia, tritanopia) so you can fix contrast issues early.
Which export format should I choose?
CSS variables for web projects, SCSS if you are working in Sass, and JSON for design systems or component libraries.
Are my uploaded images stored?
No. Color extraction happens locally in your web browser. Your images never upload to external servers and nothing persists after closing the tab.
Can I edit individual colors after extraction?
You can adjust palette composition via granularity controls. For fine-tuned editing of single swatches, pair with our Color Picker tool.
