How does the tool determine the dominant colors?

The tool samples pixels across the image and clusters them into color groups using a color quantization algorithm, returning the most representative color from each group.

What is the difference between HEX, RGB, and HSL?

HEX (#FF5733) is the standard web format. RGB (255, 87, 51) uses red/green/blue values 0–255. HSL uses hue (0–360°), saturation (%), and lightness (%) — more intuitive for design.

Can I generate a palette without uploading an image?

Yes. Enter a base color in the color picker and choose a harmony type (complementary, analogous, triadic) to generate a matching palette.

Can I export the palette for design tools?

You can copy the palette as CSS custom properties or as a JSON array of color values for use in code or design tokens.
