Frequently Asked Questions
How does color extraction work?
The tool uses the median cut algorithm, a color quantization method that recursively splits the color space into boxes. Each box is divided along its longest axis at the median point. The average color of each final box becomes one of the extracted dominant colors.
How many colors are extracted?
By default, 6 dominant colors are extracted. You can adjust this with the slider (3-8). More colors give finer detail but may include subtle variations. Fewer colors give bolder, more distinct palette entries.
Can I use these colors in my design?
Yes. Each color is shown with its HEX and RGB values. Click any swatch to copy the HEX value. Use these extracted colors as a design palette that matches your image perfectly.
