How the color extractor works
- Drop any JPG, PNG or WebP file onto the box.
- The tool samples thousands of pixels, groups similar colors, and shows the most dominant tones.
- Click a swatch to copy its HEX instantly, or copy the whole palette as CSS variables.
- Great for building a palette that matches an existing asset before you start designing.
Tips for better results
- Clean, flat images produce tighter palettes than busy photos with many gradations.
- Rename you hero image with a strong two-color contrast if you want a quick complementary pair.
- Pair the palette with the gradient generator to build matching backgrounds.
