Getting Started

  1. Select Image: Choose an image from the dropdown menu or upload your own.

Configure Pylette

  1. Sort Colors By - will sort the color palette by the frequency or the luminance (perceived brightness).
  2. Color Quantization Mode - to specify the color quantization method - either using K-Means (default) or Median-Cut algorithms.
  3. Palette Color Count - set the number of colors in the palette
  4. Resize - resize the image to a more manageable size before beginning color extraction. This significantly speeds up the extraction, but reduces the faithfulness of the color palette.
  5. Generate Palette: Let Pylette work its magic and extract a color palette from the selected image.

Use the generated Color Palette

  1. Explore: Explore the extracted colors and pick your favorites using the color picker.
  2. Set Frame Color: Set the selected color as the frame color for the image to see it in action.
  3. Experiment: Try out different images, algorithms, and sorting methods to discover unique color combinations.
  4. Copy the Color Palette: Use the generated color palette in your onw project!
