Three photos, three palettes

These are the exact five colors this page pulls from each photo — the same extraction that runs when you upload your own. Notice how each palette keeps the photo's mood without simply averaging it into one color.

•

  Greens at four different depths plus a pale highlight. Landscape photos usually give a palette like this: one hue, several values. It works well for backgrounds and section dividers, less well when you need an accent.

• 

  #be104c #a49c64 #a4063a #930534 #fc8ab4

  A close-up with one dominant subject gives a stronger, more usable palette: two deep pinks, a soft pink highlight and a muted olive from the stem, which doubles as the accent colour.

  #f69006 #955703 #963f06 #140c0c #fccc73

  Strong light sources push the palette toward warm oranges with a near-black from the silhouette. That near-black is the useful part — it gives you text and detail colors that already belong with the rest.

How the colors are chosen

The page does not simply average the pixels: it groups them and then picks one representative color from each of six roles — vibrant, muted, dark vibrant, dark muted, light vibrant and light muted — keeping the first five that are distinct. That is why a mostly green photo still returns a range you can build with, rather than five near-identical greens.

Everything happens in your browser. The image is read locally, the palette is produced on your own machine, and nothing is uploaded unless you choose to save the palette.

Getting a better palette from a photo

• Crop to the subject first. A photo with a large empty sky or wall gives those areas more weight than they deserve.
• Photos with one clear subject beat busy scenes. Close-ups of a flower, a building or a plate of food give cleaner palettes than a crowded street.
• Heavy filters shift everything toward one hue, which flattens the result. Use the original where you can.
• Check the extracted colors against each other before using them for text — a palette from a photo is a starting point, not an accessible pairing.
