How does color extraction work?

The tool samples pixels from the image using a Canvas element and groups similar colors using a median-cut quantization algorithm to identify the most dominant colors.

Can I use extracted colors for my brand?

Yes — HEX codes can be copied directly into design tools like Figma, Canva, or Adobe XD.

Why do I see slightly different colors than expected?

The algorithm groups similar shades together. Very similar colors may be merged into one. Increasing the palette count gives more granular results.
