What Is a Color Palette Generator?
A color palette generator scans the most common pixels in your photo and groups them to create a palette with up to 15 unique shades. Achromatic Realm’s Colors From Images tool gives you more than just the hex codes:
Dominance scale → Percentages clarify which shades appear most in your photo.
Calmness score → Dominant tones are graphed by how relaxing or stimulating they are.
Color groups →View a visual breakdown of color families and their dominance.
These supporting tools help artists, hobbyists, and designers to explore color in a deeper and more insightful way.
Above are results generated with the Achromatic Realm Color Palette Generator. The scatterplot maps warm and cool colors on calmness versus arousal scores, the bar graph shows dominant color categories like red, blue, and purple, and swatches display the top fifteen hex codes with pixel percentages.
