Product photo colours from an image

A page looks better when its accents come from the product itself. Drop a product photo and see which colours really carry the picture, so buttons and badges can echo them. Nothing is uploaded: your image stays in your browser.

Or paste one with Ctrl+V. PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, AVIF or BMP, up to 25 MB.

How it works

  1. Add an image

    Drop a picture on the page, paste it with Ctrl+V, or browse for a file. A logo, a photo, a screenshot or a product shot all work.

  2. Choose how many colours

    Pick 4, 6, 8 or 10. The most common colours come first, with the share of the image each one covers, so you can see which colour leads.

  3. Pick, scale and copy

    Click the image to pick any exact pixel with a magnifier, open an eleven-step tonal scale for any colour, and show the colours as HEX, RGB, HSL or OKLCH.

  4. Export it

    Copy the palette as CSS variables, a Tailwind theme, SCSS, JSON or plain text, download it as a file, or save a PNG strip of the colours.

Questions about a product photo colours

How do I get a product photo colours from an image?

Add your image, and 6 colours are chosen for you. You can change that to 4, 6, 8 or 10. Then open Export, choose CSS variables and copy the code. Photos with a white backdrop will list white as the biggest colour. Ignore it and look at the next one down for the real product colour.

Will the colours match what a customer sees on screen?

They are the pixels of your image, so they match the file. Screens, lighting and colour profiles still vary, so use the values for design and not as a precise product spec.

How many colours should a product photo colours have?

Six colours separates the product from its background and shadows. Raise it to eight for items with several materials.

Is the image I use for my product photo colours uploaded?

No. The picture is read by your own browser in a background worker, so your product photo colours stays private and the page keeps working offline once it has loaded.

Check that these colours are readable

A palette looks fine until text sits on it. Test any pair from your palette against WCAG AA and AAA, and get the closest passing colour when one fails.
