Limits

  • Click or tap the picture (or move the crosshair with the arrow keys, 10 px with Shift, and press Enter) to pick a colour. A 3 px or 5 px sample averages the pixels around the point.
  • Pictures over 4096 px are sampled from a reduced copy, so a pixel position is approximate there. Colours are read as your browser shows them; colour profiles are not converted.
  • The palette comes from k-means clustering on a reduced copy. It is a good summary, not a unique answer: different settings or tools may pick different shades. Nearly transparent pixels are ignored.
  • Contrast is the WCAG 2 ratio of each colour against white and black (4.5 or more passes for normal text, 3 or more for large text). It says nothing about colour-blindness.
  • Everything runs on your device; images are never uploaded.
