Frequently asked questions

How do I extract colours from an image?

Click the upload field, choose a photo or logo, and the five dominant colours appear as swatches. The image is read in your browser and never uploaded.

Can I get the hex codes?

Yes: each swatch shows its hex code, and the download includes them. For HSL, CMYK, tints, shades and harmonies, open the colour in ColorsLovers.

What is a good number of colours for a brand palette?

Two main colours plus one neutral. Invitations usually use one dominant colour, one accent and an off-white background.

Does the palette creator work on a phone?

Yes. Uploading a photo opens the camera roll on iOS and Android.

Is anything stored?

Your palette is saved in your own browser's storage so it survives a refresh. Nothing is sent to our servers; colour names are looked up through a public colour-naming API using only the hex code.
