How colours are pulled out of an image

01

Grouping, not counting

A photograph contains thousands of distinct values, almost all of them imperceptibly different. Colours are grouped by perceptual similarity in Lab space and reported as clusters, which is why you get a usable handful rather than a meaningless list.

02

What the percentage means

The figure under each swatch is that colour group share of the visible pixels. Transparent areas are excluded, so a cut-out logo reports the proportions of the mark itself rather than of the empty canvas around it.

03

Dominant is not the same as important

The largest area is often a background or a sky, not the colour that defines the image. A brand mark can occupy two percent of a photograph and still be the point of it. Read the percentages as coverage, not as significance.

04

Photographs versus flat graphics

Flat artwork extracts cleanly because its colours genuinely are uniform. A photograph is continuous tone, so what comes back is a representative sample rather than a definitive list — lighting alone will shift the result between two shots of the same subject.

05

Nothing is uploaded

The image is read on a canvas in your browser. No copy is sent to a server, which matters when the image is an unreleased design or a client asset.

Product colour data

Extract the actual colours of a product shot for listings and filters.

What people use it for

The jobs the editor was built around — and what it does differently on each one.

Colourways you can revisit

Every edit is a layer, not a bake. When the brand shifts, reopen the file and change the colour rather than rebuilding the variant from the original.

Cutouts with awkward edges

AI background removal that keeps hair, foliage and soft shadows instead of stamping a hard outline around them. The output is a transparent PNG, ready to place.

No export, edit, re-import loop

The Framer plugin runs on the canvas you are already working in, so a recolour or a cutout does not mean a round trip through a second application.

Ten options in the time one used to take

Recolour once and step through the alternatives, so a client review can look at the whole range instead of the one version there was time to make.

Brand colours matched exactly

Pick a colour straight off an existing asset and get the hex, rather than eyeballing it against a screenshot and hoping it is close enough.

Free to preview, priced per export

Previewing is unlimited and costs nothing. A credit is spent only when you download a full-resolution file, so exploring an idea is never the expensive part.
