What extraction represents

Dominant colors are clustered from sampled pixels. The result reflects the image file, display processing, compression, lighting, and the selected exclusions—not the measured color of a physical object.

Important limitations

Photographs can contain color casts caused by lighting, white balance, and camera processing.
Compressed images may merge or shift nearby colors.
Use calibrated measurement and proofing for production-critical physical colors.

Common questions

Answers before you export.

Is my image uploaded to Color Pick?

No. The image is decoded, resized, sampled, and analyzed in your browser. The filename and pixel data are not sent to the Color Pick server.

Why are the extracted colors different from the object?

Camera settings, ambient light, reflections, editing, display calibration, and image compression can all change the recorded color.

Can I test the extracted palette for accessibility?

Yes. Open the result in the Playground, then use Palette Readiness Score, Compatibility Matrix, and Contrast Checker.
