Color Extraction Best Practices

For the best results, use high-quality images with distinct color regions. The tool downscales images to 100x100 pixels for analysis, which works well for most photos. Images with gradients will produce more colors from the transition zones, while flat-color illustrations yield cleaner palettes. The extracted palette is sorted by color frequency, so the most dominant color appears first.
