Color palette from image: common questions
How are the colors chosen?
The image is scaled down and its pixels are grouped into sets of similar colors using a method called median cut. Each swatch is the average of one group, and the percentage is how much of the image it covers.
Why isn't the bright accent color in my palette?
A small splash of color covers few pixels, so it gets averaged into a bigger group. Choose 12 colors to bring small accents out.
Are transparent areas counted?
No. Mostly transparent pixels are ignored.
