Color palette from an image
Upload any photo and pull a color palette straight out of it — a sunset, a rug, a room you love. Slide through palette variants, hover a color to see where it came from, and match every color to a real paint you can buy across 18,522 paints. Your photo stays in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
How to get a color palette from a photo
Upload a photo — a landscape, a fabric, a finished room, anything with colors you want to live with. The tool reads the whole image right in your browser and pulls out the colors that define it. Slide through the variants to get a more dominant, more vivid, or lighter-to-darker take on the same photo, and hover any color to see exactly where in the image it came from. Then it does the part that matters for painting: it matches every color to the closest real paint across 11 brands (Backdrop, Behr, Benjamin Moore, Clare, Dunn-Edwards, Farrow & Ball, Kompozit, Magnolia Home, PPG / Glidden, Sherwin-Williams, Valspar), ranked by ΔE2000 — the same perceptual color-difference formula paint chemists use.
Turn a palette into a room
- The largest band is usually your wall color; the smaller ones make great trim, cabinet, or accent picks.
- Use the brand tabs to match the whole palette to one brand, then add colors and buy them together.
- A photo is a starting point — lighting shifts color, so always brush a real sample on the wall before buying.
