FAQ
Is my image uploaded to the server?
No. The extraction runs in your browser via JavaScript. The file is not sent to our server by this tool.
How accurate is the palette?
It’s a pragmatic palette (k-means clustering on pixels). For gradients/noisy photos, results are approximate but usually very useful.
Can I use this for logos?
Yes. Logos with flat colors work extremely well. Use a smaller palette size (3–6) for clean results.

## What “dominant color” means
Most images contain many colors. A dominant color is the most common, visually significant color after ignoring transparent/near-white pixels.
## How to get a clean dominant color
– Use a smaller palette size (3–5)
– Crop out large background areas
– For product photos, remove pure white backgrounds when possible
## Use cases
– Website hero backgrounds
– Thumbnail generation
– Brand exploration
## FAQ
### Why is my dominant color gray?
Large neutral backgrounds (sky, concrete, white studio backdrops) can dominate. Crop tighter or reduce background.
