Frequently Asked Questions
How does the tool pick dominant colors from a photo?
It samples pixel data on an HTML5 Canvas and runs a color quantization clustering algorithm to group similar pixels and isolate the most visually distinct vibrant, muted, light, and dark tones.
Are uploaded inspiration images stored on a server?
No. Image pixel sampling happens entirely inside your browser's local memory.
Can I convert the extracted HEX codes into HSL or CMYK?
Yes — copy any HEX code from the palette and open our Color Code Converter to get its exact HSL, HSV, and CMYK equivalents.
