What is the Image Color Palette Extractor?

Boad Tools Image Color Palette Extractor analyzes any photograph, graphic, or UI design screenshot and automatically extracts its dominant color palette with HEX, RGB, and HSL values.

How does color extraction work?

Our color extractor utilizes client-side color quantization algorithms on HTML5 Canvas. By analyzing the frequency and distance of pixels in three-dimensional RGB color space, it clusters similar shades together to identify the most dominant and visually harmonious colors in the picture.
