FAQs
What kinds of images work best with the Color Scheme Generator?
Almost any image can produce interesting color schemes, but images with clear, distinct colors tend to yield the most useful results. Photos with vibrant landscapes, colorful objects, or artistic compositions generally produce the most practical color palettes.
How does the tool extract colors from my image?
The tool analyzes your image pixel by pixel, identifying the most frequently occurring colors while intelligently grouping similar shades together. It then ranks these colors by dominance and organizes them into primary and secondary color categories.
What's the difference between the palette types?
Each palette type follows different color theory principles:
Harmonic palettes use the golden ratio to create balanced, aesthetically pleasing combinations
Analogous palettes use colors that sit next to each other on the color wheel
Monochromatic palettes use variations of a single color with different lightness and saturation
Complementary palettes combine colors from opposite sides of the color wheel
How can I use these color palettes in my projects?
