What is a Color Extractor?
A color extractor analyzes an image and picks out its most dominant colors as hex codes — the palette a designer would sample by hand, generated automatically. It's useful for matching a brand palette to a photo, building a color scheme from inspiration images, or just quickly identifying the exact hex code of a color you like.
How to Extract Colors from an Image — Step by Step
- Upload your image. Drag and drop one or more images into the box above — analysis starts automatically.
- Review the palette. Each image shows its top 6 dominant colors with hex codes and their share of the image.
- Copy a color. Click any swatch to copy its hex code to your clipboard.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many colors does it return?▾
The top 6 most dominant colors by share of the image, grouped from visually similar shades.
Why don't the colors exactly match what I see in an editor?▾
Colors are sampled from a downscaled version of your image and grouped into similar shades, so the result reflects the overall palette rather than every individual pixel value.
Can I extract colors from multiple images at once?▾
Yes — add up to 20 images and each gets analyzed independently.
