FAQ About Color Palette
How does color extraction work?
We use K-means clustering to group similar pixels by color, then find the center of each cluster. This gives the most visually dominant colors.
Can I extract colors from a specific region?
Not currently. The entire image is analyzed. Crop the image first if you want region-specific colors.
What format are the color values in?
HEX (#FF5733), RGB (255, 87, 51), and HSL (11°, 100%, 60%). All three are shown for each color.
