Frequently Asked Questions

What is K-means color clustering?
K-means is an algorithm that groups pixels into K clusters based on color similarity. Each cluster's average color becomes a "dominant color". It finds representative colors rather than just the most common pixels, giving more useful and visually distinct palette results.
How accurate is the color extraction?
The tool samples up to 10,000 pixels evenly across your image and runs the clustering algorithm on them. For most images this gives excellent results. Very large images are down-sampled internally for performance, which does not significantly affect accuracy.
Can I use the extracted colors for my brand?
Absolutely. The extracted HEX, RGB, HSL and CSS variable exports are ready to use directly in your design tools, code editor or brand guidelines document. The CSS Variables export is particularly useful for dropping straight into a stylesheet.
Why do the colors look different from what I see in the image?
Color perception is highly subjective. K-means finds mathematically dominant colors which may be different from what your eye perceives as the "main" color. Try the Median Cut or Color Quantization algorithms for different perspectives on the same palette, or use the Eyedropper to manually pick specific colors.
