How do I create a color palette from an image?

Choose or drop a JPG, PNG or WebP image. The tool groups similar pixels and selects up to five visually distinct dominant colors, then shows each as HEX, RGB and HSL.

Is my image uploaded?

No. The image is opened and analyzed inside your browser tab. It is not sent to YouArt or stored on a server, and closing the page discards it.

Which image formats can I use?

You can use JPG, PNG and WebP images up to 25 MB. Transparent pixels are ignored when colors are extracted.

Which color values does the tool provide?

Every swatch includes HEX, RGB and HSL values. Select a swatch to copy its HEX code, or use Copy palette to copy every HEX code at once.

How to make a color palette

Or use an image
Upload a JPG, PNG or WebP file to find up to five dominant colors. The analysis runs locally in your browser.
Copy the color values
Select one swatch to copy its HEX value, or copy the whole palette. RGB and HSL values stay visible for other design tools.

Build a palette that works beyond the swatches

A useful palette gives each color a job. Test it in the real design, especially where text, backgrounds and controls meet.

Give each color a role

Choose one main color, one supporting color and one accent. Use the remaining tones for surfaces, borders or quiet details instead of giving every color equal weight.

Check text contrast

A palette can look harmonious and still be hard to read. Test important text and buttons against their actual backgrounds before publishing.

Sample the right image

Use an image that represents the mood you want. Large backgrounds naturally influence the extracted palette more than tiny details.
