Image Color Picker FAQ
How are dominant colors calculated?
Pixels are sampled across the image and grouped into 4-bit-per-channel buckets, then the largest buckets are averaged. That merges near-identical shades and surfaces the colors that actually dominate the picture.
Is the color I click the exact pixel value?
Yes. The picker reads the composited canvas pixel at your cursor position, so anti-aliased edges may differ slightly from the source artwork but the reading is exact for the rendered image.
Are my images uploaded?
No โ decoding, sampling and palette extraction all run in your browser using canvas APIs.
