About the Colour Palette Extractor

How does the colour extractor work?

The tool analyses the pixels in your uploaded image directly in your browser, groups similar colours together, and identifies the most common ones. It then builds a suggested five-colour website palette based on the dominant colour it finds.

Is my image uploaded anywhere?

No. Your image is processed entirely in your browser using canvas technology. It is never uploaded to our servers or stored anywhere.

Can I use this for logo colours?

Yes, uploading your logo is a great way to quickly generate a matching website colour palette based on your existing brand colours.

What do Primary, Light, Dark, Accent and Neutral mean?

These are common roles in a website colour system. Primary is your main brand colour, Light and Dark are tints and shades of it for backgrounds and text, Accent is a contrasting colour for buttons and highlights, and Neutral is a muted tone for supporting elements.

Why This Matters

A cohesive colour scheme makes a website look designed rather than thrown together, and pulling exact hex codes from inspiration images, such as a logo, a product photo, or a competitor site, is the fastest way to build one. This tool extracts a usable palette in seconds instead of eyeballing colours by hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many colours should a website palette have?

Most well-designed sites work from 4 to 6 colours: a primary brand colour, one or two supporting shades, an accent colour for calls to action, and a neutral for text and backgrounds.

Can I use this to check if my palette has enough contrast?

This tool extracts colours from an image; for accessibility, pair it with a contrast checker to confirm your text and background colour combinations meet WCAG readability standards.

Where do I actually apply these hex codes on my WordPress site?

Most modern themes let you set global colours through the theme customiser or CSS custom properties, so updating a handful of values can update the colour scheme sitewide.
