THE BASICS
What Is an Image Palette Extractor?
A palette extractor looks at the pixels in an image and groups similar colors together to find the ones that appear most. The result is a small set of representative colors — the "feel" of the picture — ready to use in a design.
It is a quick way to build a colour scheme that matches a photograph, a product shot or a logo, and to keep new designs consistent with existing imagery.

GOOD TO KNOW
A few things, answered.
Quick answers about using the MoSanKit Color Palette from Image.
It scales the image down, groups similar colors with a median-cut method and averages each group, weighting by how many pixels use each color. Near-identical results are merged so every swatch looks distinct.
If the image only contains a few distinct colors (a flat logo, for example), the tool shows just those colors rather than inventing similar ones.
No. Fully or mostly transparent pixels are ignored, so a logo on a transparent background gives you the logo's colors.
The colors are just numbers, but the image they came from may be protected. Make sure you have the right to use the source image.
JPG, PNG and WebP.
