About this tool
Pulling colours out of an image is how most palettes actually start — from a photograph, a product shot, or a logo whose source file has long since disappeared. This tool does both halves of that job: it samples the whole image to surface the colours that genuinely dominate it, weighted by how much of the picture each one covers, and it lets you click any individual pixel when you need one exact value rather than a general impression.
How to use
- Choose an image.
- Read the dominant palette — each colour shows what share of the image it covers.
- Click anywhere on the image to sample that exact pixel.
- Copy any value as HEX or RGB.
When to use this tool
- Building a brand palette from a photograph or product shot.
- Recovering the exact hex of a logo colour from an image.
- Matching a UI accent to an illustration or hero image.
- Checking which colours actually dominate a design.
Tips
- Percentages show coverage, so a small but vivid accent will rank below a large muted background — sample it directly with a click.
- Near-identical shades are grouped, which is what makes the palette useful rather than a list of thousands of tones.
- Pair with the Colour Converter to move a value into other formats.
Limitations
- Colours are grouped into buckets, so near-identical shades merge into one entry — that is what makes the palette useful rather than a list of thousands of tones.
FAQ
- Is my image uploaded?
- No. Sampling happens on a canvas in your browser. Nothing is transmitted or stored.
- Why is a colour I can clearly see missing from the palette?
- The palette ranks by how much of the image each colour covers, so a small accent loses to a large background. Click directly on it to get its exact value.
- Are transparent areas included?
- No. Mostly transparent pixels are skipped, so a logo on a transparent background returns the logo's colours rather than a phantom shade.
