About Color Palette Extractor

Overview

Purpose

Color Palette Extractor helps designers, DIY décor planners, and marketers pull usable hex/RGB swatches from any photo — brand extraction, mood boards, or matching paint to a room photo.

Colors are quantized with a median-cut algorithm after downsampling to a small analysis canvas for speed. Results are approximate dominant tones, not a full color-management pipeline.

Everything runs client-side. No account, and no server-side storage of your images or palettes.

Intended uses and scope

Appropriate when: Upload a photo or design mockup and extract a dominant color palette for home décor, brand boards, and mood boards. Processing uses the Canvas API on your device — images are never uploaded or saved after you leave. Not for: Downsampling and screen color profiles make extracted values approximate rather than print-calibrated.
