Insightful Color Palettes From Flowers

Updated: Aug 3

If you ever find yourself snatching photos of beautiful gardens, you already have the foundation for a wonderful color palette.


Let's upload an image of a lilac and set the number of colors to the maximum, 15.


A vibrant cluster of lilac flowers is showcased alongside a dominance pie chart, highlighting shades of purple and green as the most prominent colors identified in the image.

Instantly we have a proportional diagram of the colors in the image, and a list of the associated HEX codes. It's easy to copy these codes to bring them into another project. We can click any codes we want to eliminate from the diagram to focus on the ones we like.


Following the same process as mentioned previously with a new picture of tulips, we can view the percentage of each swatch within the image. It's safe to say the tulip color is #CA034E with 13.68% dominance.


Color swatches with hex codes and percentages. Bold pink #CA034E is most dominant at 13.68%. Series of varying reds, pinks, and greens.

Now take a tiger lily. While each of these flower pictures are embedded in a green landscape, we can see how the warmth of the oranges in the lily makes it the most emotionally arousing color in the scenery.

Graph with dots shows warm and cool colors on calmness vs. arousal. Bar chart below shows green, yellow, orange, black dominance.

After uploading three different flowers, I now have 45 swatches and basic information about how frequently they appear in each image. I'd like to go deeper into discovering insights about one of my favorite colors I've discovered from this tool, #A3769F from the lilac.


Analysis of the muted purple tone #A3769F, covering psychological profile, industry metrics, demographic preferences, and design strategy.

After pasting #A3769F into the color insight generator, I get instant access to more analytical information I can use in my projects. First, the tool identifies it as a muted purple, a color group that has associations with royalty, mystery, spirituality, and luxury. I can view the equivalent RGB and HSL code before diving into a full psychological profile.


Now I can recognize this tone may encourage introspection, exerts sophistication, and has a higher conversion impact for handmade goods. It's used across beauty industry sites, peaks in wedding season, and has a more positive response from women. This is just the start of discovering analytics and uses for any and all colors imaginable.
