Image Color Extractor

What is Online Image Color Extractor?

Image Color Extractor is a free online tool for extracting all colors in an image and gives detailed information about all these colors as a color palette. You can get info and copy all data of these colors as well as copy all colors as a list to use in your projects.

For example, if you design a hero with an image and don't know which colors may be complementary with the image, extracting colors from this image will be a good reference point to choose the right color. Also, you can create your color palettes and themes from extracted colors for color harmony and complementing images with other elements.

This is an example output for the well-known painting of Mona Lisa and its color set as a result.

Frequently asked questions

How is the palette worked out?

By reading the colours actually present in the image and grouping them, so what comes back reflects the picture rather than a guess at what would look nice beside it.

Can I copy the whole palette at once?

Yes. Each swatch copies on its own, and there is also a copy-all that gives you the colours as a list ready to paste into a stylesheet or a design file.

Which colour formats do I get?

HEX, RGB and HSL for every colour, so the value is usable whether it is going into CSS, a design tool or code.

Why pull a palette from a photo at all?

It is the fastest route to a scheme that already works. A photograph your client likes has a palette in it that is guaranteed to sit together, which beats picking swatches in the abstract and hoping.

What if I only want one colour?

The Image Color Picker reads a single pixel under a magnifier, and the Image Average Color Finder reduces the whole image to one value.
