Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about color extraction

What is the principle of color extraction?
The tool samples pixels in the image, groups similar colors together (color quantization), then counts the number of pixels in each group. The color that appears most frequently is the dominant color, arranged proportionally to form a palette. This is similar to how the human eye perceives the main tone of an image.
Why are the extracted colors different from what I see?
The algorithm merges similar colors to reduce noise, which may cause the extracted color to be an average of a certain area. If you need the exact color of a specific point, you can use the "Click to Pick Color" feature to get it directly. In addition, display color configuration may also affect visual perception.
What is the difference between HEX and RGB color formats?
Both represent the same color, just in different formats:
HEX: #FF5500, uses hexadecimal to represent RGB components. Commonly used in CSS and design software.
RGB: rgb(255, 85, 0), uses decimal representation, more intuitive. Commonly used in CSS and programming.
Choose according to usage scenario, both can be converted to each other.
How many colors should I set?
Depends on purpose:
• Color scheme: 5-8 colors are enough to form a complete color scheme
• Dominant color extraction: 4-5, focus on the most prominent colors
• Detailed analysis: 10-16, get richer color information
Recommend starting with 8, adjust as needed.
How to use extracted colors in design?
• Directly copy HEX values for use in design software (Figma, Sketch)
• Use "Copy as CSS Variables" feature, directly paste into CSS files
• Save color palette screenshot as design reference
• The first color is usually suitable as the main color, lighter colors can be used as background colors
