Get Color Palette from Image

Extract a harmonious colour palette from photos and illustrations using regional averaging — great for mood boards and UI inspiration.

How it works

Your image is split into regions and each area’s median colour is found, so one big sky doesn’t completely drown out accents elsewhere. Those colours are grouped in perceptual Lab colour space using median-cut quantization, then near-duplicates are merged. The result is an averaged, harmonious palette — better for photos than exact pixel counting.

Tips

  • Landscapes, product shots, and illustrations work best here.
  • Logos and pixel art? Use Palette from Logo instead.
  • Try 5–7 colours for mood boards, or 8–10 for richer schemes.
  • Browse brand colour palettes for reference swatches.
