Extracted Palette
Image Color Palette Generator
A good image can contain an entire colour scheme.
Kayefi’s Image Color Palette Generator finds the dominant colours in a photo, screenshot, logo or design and turns them into a practical palette you can copy and use.
Upload an image, choose how many colours you want, and Kayefi identifies the strongest colours it finds. You can copy the HEX palette or download CSS variables for use in a website or design project.
The image stays in your browser during the extraction process.
Extract a Palette From a Photo
A photograph may contain hundreds of thousands of individual colours, but that does not mean you need all of them.
A palette reduces the image to a smaller set of colours that represent its main visual character.
This can be useful for:
- Brand inspiration
- Website design
- Social graphics
- Mood boards
- Presentation themes
- UI design
- Product photography
- Illustration work
Choose three colours for a simple palette, or use a larger set when the image contains more variation.
Extract Colors From a Screenshot
Screenshots are especially useful when you are trying to understand an existing design.
Upload a screenshot and extract the colours used across the interface.
You may discover a dominant background colour, a primary accent, a darker text colour and several supporting tones.
From there, you can turn the colours into a CSS palette for a new design.
Extract Colors From a Logo
A logo can be the starting point for an entire brand palette.
Instead of manually guessing the colours, extract them directly from the artwork.
This is useful when you are recreating an old website, preparing a style guide or matching supporting graphics to an existing logo.
For picking one exact colour, use the Image Color Picker.
Copy the Palette
After the colours are extracted, each swatch can be copied.
The HEX values are especially convenient for CSS and website work.
You can also download CSS variables so the palette can move directly into a stylesheet or design system.
That makes the tool useful not just for identifying colours, but for turning an image into something you can actually work with.
How Many Colors Should You Extract?
There is no universal answer.
A simple photograph may work well with three to five colours.
A detailed illustration may need more.
Start with five, then increase the number when the image has several distinct visual areas.
More colours are not automatically better. A palette with too many nearly identical shades can be harder to use.

Turn an Image Into a Usable Color Scheme
Upload the image, choose the number of colours, and see what the picture is actually made of.
The result is more useful than a vague colour description because you leave with values you can immediately use.
