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.

## Tips for UI-friendly palettes
– Use 5–8 colors max
– Choose one primary, one accent, and keep the rest neutral
– Reduce saturation for backgrounds
– Use lightness steps for hover/active states
