Color Palette from Image: HEX, RGB, and CSS in One Pass
open this tool now
Color palette from image: pull dominant HEX, RGB, and CSS variables in the browser. Swatch-Then-Token—not Pantone, not Canva. Free CashPilot extractor plus official tool and guide links.

A color palette from image job starts with a file you already have: a client logo, a product shot, a screenshot. You need codes you can paste—not a mood, not a guessed “teal.”
Open the extractor: Color Palette from Image.
This page is the Swatch-Then-Token pass. It is not Canva or Something Else for Blog Graphics (layout seat). It is not JPG→PDF or JPG→Word. The catalog owner stays CashPilot Free Tools.
A longer click-path on the tools site: Free Color Palette Generator from Image. Use that for extra screenshots they publish there. This blog post stays the decision + official link map.
Upload a clean logo or photo, pick 4–10 colors, copy HEX or CSS :root variables, then check contrast yourself. Treat ~92/100 as a fast start—not a print-lab match.
Disclosure: Color Palette from Image is our own CashPilot Tools product. This is not an independent lab review. Facts below match the live tool card as of this writing.
Swatch-Then-Token
SWATCH-THEN-TOKEN
1. FILE → logo / product / screenshot (JPG PNG WebP GIF)
2. COUNT → 4–10 swatches (six is a tight kit)
3. COPY → one HEX, all HEX, or CSS variables
4. TOKEN → paste into :root / Figma / a brand note
5. CHECK → contrast for text vs background (separate job)
Live tool notes (re-check the card if you read this months later):
- Processing in the browser — not uploaded to their servers
- Quality ~92/100 for logos, product photos, screenshots, mood boards
- Not a full design system or Pantone match
- Formats: JPG / PNG / WebP / GIF
The tools-site guide also lists copy-all HEX, CSS :root (--color-1 …), and a keep-under-~8 MB note. If the card disagrees, the live tool wins.
When this job fits (and when it does not)
Fits: you have a mark and a developer asked for HEX. You are matching a screenshot. You need a first UI theme before anyone opens a brand book.
Skip: the brand already locked Pantone. You need an accessibility report. You actually wanted a template layout—that is Canva’s seat.
Need a sharp logo file after the colors? That is a different tool: PNG / JPG to SVG. Palette first, vector second—do not swap the jobs.
A 10-minute freelancer pass
- Open color-palette.
- Drop a PNG with a clean background when you can.
- Start at 6 colors. Drop muddy leftovers.
- Copy CSS variables into a gist or the site’s tokens file.
- Do not ship body text on a 4.4:1 pair without a contrast check.
Busy photos average toward muted mid-tones. That is expected. Crop to the brand area if the background is stealing swatches.
