FAQ
What algorithm is used?+
Median-cut quantization extracts representative colors from the image. Rather than averaging adjacent pixels, it produces a natural-looking palette.
How many colors should I pick?+
Brand analysis: 3–5. Mood board: 8–10. Too many and similar colors duplicate, diluting the result.
Does it show RGB or HSL too?+
HEX codes (#RRGGBB) for now. Use [color converter] to translate HEX to RGB/HSL/CMYK.
I keep getting black and white. How do I avoid that?+
If the image has lots of white space or dark shadows, it's a natural result. Crop or edit the image and try again.
How are transparent PNGs handled?+
Transparent areas are treated as white, so white may appear in the result.
Can I extract from multiple images at once?+
One at a time. For a mood board, combine images first with [image stack] and extract.
