How to use the Photo Palette

The tool samples colors across the photo in your browser, then selects a spread that covers the image’s range — typically a dominant color, supporting tones and an accent — rather than several near-identical shades. The result is a cohesive palette you can use directly instead of a raw color dump.

Frequently asked

How do I make a color palette from a photo?
Upload the image and the tool samples its colors and selects a balanced set — a dominant color, a few supporting tones and an accent — that read well together.
How is Photo Palette different from the Image Color Extractor?
The extractor lists the raw dominant colors; Photo Palette curates them into a harmonious, usable palette suitable for a design system or moodboard.
Does the photo get uploaded anywhere?
No — the photo is analyzed locally in your browser, so it stays private and the tool works without a connection.
Which photos make the best palettes?
Images with clear, varied color and good lighting work best; very dark, washed-out or single-hue photos give flatter palettes.
