Frequently asked questions
How accurate are the colour codes?
We sample the literal sRGB pixel value from the source image, so the HEX is exactly the colour at that point. Final perception may differ slightly depending on your display calibration.
What is the auto-generated palette?
We cluster the image's pixels into 5 representative colours using k-means. It usually surfaces the dominant background, subject and accent tones.
Can I pick from JPGs, PNGs and WEBP?
Yes — any image your browser can decode (including AVIF in modern browsers) will work.
Does it upload my image?
No. The picker runs in a browser canvas; the image stays on your device.
Why HSL alongside HEX/RGB?
HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is much easier to tweak — for example shifting hue while keeping the same lightness — and is widely used in modern CSS and design tools.
