How to use it

The tool groups colors in an uploaded image into a compact palette and counts their use. It does not judge color harmony or invent a style.

  1. Choose an image with the colors you want to reuse.
  2. Set the number of palette colors and inspect the swatches.
  3. Download JSON for your tools or GPL for a palette editor.

Use JSON hex values in your materials or UI, or import the GPL palette into a compatible art editor.

Questions

What does the count mean?
