The color picker from image works like this: it extracts dominant color palettes from any uploaded image, ranked by pixel share, with copyable HEX values. Everything happens on your device - the input never leaves your tab unless the tool clearly states it performs a server-side lookup.

Frequently asked questions
How are dominant colors picked?
By quantizing pixel colors into clusters and ranking cluster sizes - shadows and backgrounds naturally dominate.
How are the dominant colours ranked?
By the share of pixels they occupy - the palette reads top-down as the image's true colour story, with copyable HEX values.
Why does the palette miss a small accent colour?
Dominance is pixel-share - a tiny accent occupying 1% of the image sits far down the ranking or folds into a neighbour. Sample it directly with the colour picker if you need it.
