Color palette from image: Manual color picker

Using a photograph as a reference for your painting is all well and good. But finding the right color palette is not that easy. Upload your photo to this simple tool. All you need to do is click on the photo to select your colors. This tool is excellent for coloring and other creative projects as well. 
Go to the manual color picker.

Extract color palette from image: Automatic color picker

The automatic color picker selects the colors for you. The app calculates the colors in order of dominance. It may be spot-on, and you don’t need to pick colors manually. For other images, it will miss out on colors that cover small areas. In those cases, use the manual color picker. 
Go to the automatic color picker.

One-stop sketching ideas

Don’t scratch your head for sketching ideas; use our tool. The app makes it simple with the list of sub-categories for each theme (i.e. “Flora”). Only a few images load at a time. Draw those and don’t dither. Stay focused and get your pencils and paint out. Each photo can load in the color pickers, too.
