Palette from your reference — not a stock theme marketplace
Pix-8 Palette Extractor ranks dominant colors from your project reference on a client-side canvas — not a curated palette marketplace, design-system generator, or cloud service that stores your mockups. Review up to six deduplicated HEX swatches and copy codes for comps and handoff. It does not export CSS tokens, build Figma libraries, or batch-process project folders.
Why find a color palette for a design project in the browser?
Upload-first palette tools route reference images through remote servers before you copy a single HEX code. Pix-8 processes locally — the practical fit when you need to find a color palette for a design project from a mood photo, UI mockup, or client reference without exposing project files off-device.
Fast comp starting point
Copy swatches directly into Figma, slides, or style notes — a quick palette anchor before you refine against your full design system.
Client-side by default
Project references stay on your device during extraction and copy. Pix-8 never receives your pixel data or uploads your source file.
How it works
Step 1
Open Palette Extractor
Navigate to Pix-8 Palette Extractor in your browser — no install, no account, and no upload dialog before palette extraction.
Step 2
Load your reference image
Choose a mood photo, mockup, or inspiration still from your device. Dominant colors rank automatically on a client-side canvas.
Step 3
Copy HEX for your project
Review the swatches and click any color to copy its HEX value — one image per session, ready for your design workflow.
Frequently asked questions
Can I find a color palette for a design project without uploading reference images?
Yes. Pix-8 Palette Extractor runs entirely in your browser. Load a reference image from your device — a mood photo, mockup, or inspiration still — and dominant colors rank on a client-side canvas into up to six HEX swatches on-device. Your file is never transmitted to Pix-8 or any third-party server.
Does this tool build a full design system or component library?
Palette Extractor surfaces up to six deduplicated dominant HEX codes from your reference image — copy-ready swatches for comps, mood boards, or handoff notes. It does not generate typography scales, spacing tokens, component documentation, or Figma libraries. For CSS variable export with semantic role labels, use Pix-8 CSS Palette Generator after you have your reference image.
What should I use if I need one exact color instead of a full palette?
Palette Extractor finds multiple dominant colors ranked by pixel coverage — useful when starting a design project from a reference image. For a single exact HEX from one pixel, use Pix-8 Color Picker with its magnifier loupe. Palette Extractor processes one image per session locally and does not batch-extract from project folders.
