About Color Palette Extractor
Color Palette Extractor is a free website with four tools that extract exact colors from images, logos, websites and single pixels. Every image is processed in the visitor's browser.
What does Color Palette Extractor do?
Color Palette Extractor turns a visual source into a color palette with exact color codes. Four tools cover four sources:
- Color Palette Extractor returns a palette from one or several images.
- Logo Color Extractor returns the exact colors of a logo without its background and edge blends.
- Website Color Extractor returns a website's brand, text, background and border colors from its URL.
- Image Color Picker returns the color of any single pixel.
How are the colors calculated?
The image tools group pixels with weighted k-means++ clustering in OKLab, a color space built to match perceived color difference. The default swatch value is a real pixel of the image, not an average, and a fixed seed makes every result repeatable.
The guide How color extraction works documents each step and compares the method with median cut and octree quantization.
Which principles guide the tools?
- Accuracy. Colors are real pixel values or values read from code, and the method is documented.
- Privacy. Images stay in the browser. The server only fetches public web pages and images on request.
- Free access. No account, watermark or usage cap applies to any feature.
- Open formats. Palettes export to CSS, Tailwind, design tokens, ASE, Procreate, GPL, SVG and PNG.
