Find "Design Seeds" within Images
Beautiful designs almost always conceal a harmonious color scheme. This tool inspires your creations by mathematically extracting dominant colors from any image.
Usage Ideas
- Web Design Color Choices: Extract colors from stunning landscapes or illustrations and apply them directly to your base, main, and accent color ratios.
- Banner & Social Media Content: Incorporate the primary colors of your background image into your logo or text to dramatically improve visual cohesion.
- Quantifying AI Prompts: Get your "ideal colors" in HEX format and include them in your image generation prompts to improve consistency and reproduction.
Implementation Highlights
This tool doesn't just pick colors at random; it's designed to select the colors that truly define the "feel" of the image.
- Color Analysis with K-means: It clusters tens of thousands of pixels in color space to mathematically calculate the most characteristic colors.
- Visualization of Spatial Distribution: Beyond simple color swatches, it draws lines to show exactly "where" in the image each color originated, visualizing the color context.
- Fully Local Processing: To protect your privacy, all image analysis is performed entirely within your browser. Not a single pixel is ever sent to a server.
Useful Tips
Here are some basic design techniques to help you use your extracted colors more effectively.
- The "60-30-10" Golden Ratio: 60% base, 30% sub, and 10% accent. Following this simple ratio creates instant visual stability.
- Psychological Effects of Color: Consider the emotions colors evoke—blue for "trust and cleanliness," red for "energy and passion"—when making your selection.
- Accessibility: Always be mindful of the contrast ratio between backgrounds and text. Extracted colors should primarily serve as a supportive guide.
