When to use image palette generator

Use an existing image as a starting point for a presentation or website palette. The tool samples a reduced version, groups similar colors and lists the largest groups. Each swatch includes a HEX value you can copy. These are representative colors, not a promise that every text and background pair will have readable contrast.

How it works

  1. Upload a reference image.
  2. Extract the five most common color groups.
  3. Copy individual swatches or download the palette as JSON.

Five HEX swatches

Before you export or rely on the result

Color grouping is approximate and can miss a small accent color. Check contrast separately before using a palette for text or controls.
