Set how many Colors to pull out.
Press Extract palette and copy the hex codes.
When you actually reach for this
- Use this when you have a photo or artwork and want to pull its actual colors into a reusable palette.
- Handy for matching a website theme to a hero image or reverse-engineering a competitor’s color set.
Where this tool stops being accurate
- It samples pixels, so a single stray highlight can surface as a swatch you never intended to use.
- Extracted hex codes are device-dependent; the same image can yield slightly different values on a calibrated vs uncalibrated screen.

Why are some extracted colors ugly or random?
They are literally present in the pixels — often a reflection, shadow, or JPEG artifact. Sort by frequency and drop the rare swatches; the dominant ones are what your eye actually registered.
Can it read colors from a screenshot of a website?
Yes, but browser screenshots apply the site’s color profile. For brand-accurate values, grab the hex from the site’s CSS instead of from a capture.
