What Is a Colour Palette Extractor?

A colour palette extractor analyses an image and returns the most dominant colours as a set of hex codes or colour swatches. It uses clustering algorithms to group similar pixel colours and surface the most representative values.

ToolPop's extractor shows you the palette instantly, letting you copy hex codes directly for use in design tools or code.
