About Color Picker & Palette Generator

Extract 5–8 representative dominant colors and pixel coverage percentages from photos and graphics via file upload, clipboard paste, or URL. Generate complementary, analogous, triadic, and split-complementary color harmony suggestions instantly.

Accepted Input:PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, and SVG images via upload, clipboard paste, or public image URL

Output Result:Dominant color swatches with copyable HEX codes, pixel percentages, and harmonic palette suggestions

Processing model:Uploaded and pasted images are processed entirely inside your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API and never leave your device. Image URLs are retrieved via our secure proxy solely to satisfy browser CORS security requirements.

How It Works

1Step 1

Provide an image by dropping a file, pasting from your clipboard (Ctrl+V), or entering a public image URL.

2Step 2

UtilityKit extracts 5 to 8 dominant colors using deterministic median-cut quantization, assigning every visible pixel to a cluster.

3Step 3

View exact coverage percentages, copy HEX codes, or explore complementary, analogous, triadic, and split-complementary harmonic palettes.

Common Use Cases

Extracting brand colors and hex codes from logos, banners, and design mockups.

Creating matching UI color palettes and backgrounds from photography.

Generating color harmony recommendations for digital art and marketing assets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions for users and search assistants

Are my uploaded images sent to any server?

No. When you upload or paste an image, all pixel analysis and color extraction run 100% locally in your web browser. When you provide an image URL, our proxy fetches the image data solely to bypass browser canvas CORS restrictions without retaining any data.

How are the dominant colors calculated?

We use deterministic Median-Cut color quantization across all visible non-transparent pixels, ensuring repeatable cluster swatches and accurate pixel coverage percentages that total approximately 100%.

What harmonic palettes are generated?

Selecting any extracted color generates Complementary (180°), Analogous (±30°), Triadic (120° equidistant), and Split-Complementary (150° and 210°) harmony suggestions based on standard color wheel theory.
