What Is Color Palette from Image?
A color palette extractor that uses K-means clustering to identify the most representative colors in an image. Unlike simple dominant color detection, K-means groups similar pixels into clusters and finds the centroid of each cluster, producing a harmonious and representative palette. Extract 3 to 12 colors with percentage distribution. Each color shows hex code and RGB values. Great for design inspiration and brand color extraction.

Technical Guide
Image is downsampled to 200px max dimension for performance. Pixels are collected as RGB triples (skipping transparent). K-means clustering initializes centroids evenly spaced through the pixel array, then iterates 20 times: assign each pixel to nearest centroid, recalculate centroids as cluster means. Final colors are sorted by cluster size (percentage). The palette bar renders colors proportionally by their prevalence.
