Color Extractor

Key features

• Extracts up to 8 dominant colors from any image the browser can decode.
• The first swatch is badged Dominant and every card shows its share of sampled pixels.
• Click-to-copy hex codes, with a clipboard fallback for restrictive browsers.
• A gradient strip renders the whole palette in order for a quick visual reference.
• Transparent pixels are skipped, so logos with alpha do not produce fake white or black entries.

   The gradient bar gives you an at-a-glance strip of all the colors together.

Tips for better results

• 💡Dominant means largest pixel share, which is not always the most vibrant color in the image.
• 💡Colors are quantized to 4 bits per channel, so you get representative hues rather than exact pixel values.
• 💡Pair the results with the Contrast Checker when picking text colors to sit over a photo.
