Curated palettes that share these colors — open one to copy the full scheme.
Some of the best palettes come straight from photography, artwork, or product shots. Pulling those colors out by eye is slow and imprecise.
This picker analyzes your image directly in the browser and surfaces its most prominent colors as a copyable palette. Your file never leaves your device — all processing happens locally for complete privacy.
How to use the Image Color Picker
- Upload an image. Choose any photo or graphic from your device. It’s read locally, never uploaded.
- Review the palette. The tool extracts the dominant colors and shows them as swatches.
- Copy your colors. Copy any HEX value, or the whole palette, into your project.
Practical examples
Why the Image Color Picker matters
- Photographs contain naturally harmonious color relationships you can borrow for design.
- Browser-only processing keeps your images completely private — nothing is uploaded.
- Turning an image into HEX codes bridges the gap between inspiration and implementation.
