Still Palette Extractor
Extract the dominant colors from a local still. Choose the palette size, filter extreme blacks or whites, sort the result and export a reusable color reference.
Source still
Extraction
Colors are clustered perceptually in CIE L*a*b* so similar RGB shades are less likely to become redundant swatches.
Frame cleanup
Order
Export
PNG contains the extracted swatches and values. TXT includes HEX, RGB, LAB, FOGRA39 CMYK and approximate frame share.
Extracted palette
Load a still to begin
The still never leaves this browser. The bundled FOGRA39 profile is used locally for CMYK readouts.
Method
Dominant colors are weighted by how much of the frame they occupy.
The extractor first builds a compact color histogram, then clusters those colors in perceptual LAB space. Percentages are approximate because the frame is downsampled for speed. CMYK readouts use the same bundled Adobe Coated FOGRA39 profile as the Color Converter; screen swatches remain sRGB. No still, palette or color value is uploaded or stored.
