Overview
About this tool
Pulls the dominant colours out of any image and reports each one with its share of the frame and the contrast ratio of white and black text on top of it.
Instructions
How to use it
Paste an image URL and choose how many colours you want. The results are ordered by how much of the image each one covers, so the first row is the colour a viewer will actually register.
A palette you cannot put text on is a palette you will abandon
Every swatch carries the contrast ratio of white and black text against it. A colour marked background only falls under 4.5:1 with both, so a thumbnail caption on it will be unreadable at feed size.
Questions
Frequently asked
Why are the colours not exactly the ones in my image?
Similar shades are grouped and averaged. A photograph holds tens of thousands of distinct values, almost none of which repeat — counting them raw returns noise rather than a palette.
