A great photo already contains a great color scheme. A palette generator extracts the dominant colors so you can reuse them in a design, a brand, or a slide deck.
Why pull a palette from a photo
Starting a design from a photograph gives you colors that already work together, because they came from a single real scene. It is a fast way to build a cohesive brand or theme without guessing.
How to generate a palette
- Open the Color Palette Generator.
- Add your image.
- Let it extract the dominant colors.
- Copy the hex codes you want to keep.
The image is processed in your browser, so it is never uploaded.
Using your palette well
- Pick one dominant color, one or two supporting colors, and an accent.
- Test text contrast so your color choices stay readable.
- Save the hex codes somewhere central so the whole project stays consistent.

Need the exact value of one specific pixel rather than the whole set? Use the Color Picker from Image.
