Drop any website URL below and we'll extract its complete color palette with accessibility analysis in seconds
How to extract color palettes from websites? Ever spotted a website with colors that just made you stop and stare? This tool grabs all those beautiful colors instantly. Just paste any URL and get the complete color palette with accessibility checking, HEX codes, and exports for CSS, Figma, Adobe – whatever you use. No more guessing games or manual color picking.
Paste any website URL into the input field above. Works with any public website - portfolio sites like Dribbble and Behance, e-commerce stores, corporate websites, that cool startup you found on Twitter. If it's live and has colors, we can extract them.
Choose your palette size (4 colors works for most projects, 10 if you want everything), screenshot resolution (higher catches more subtle colors), and enable accessibility checking for WCAG compliance. The accessibility thing? Keep it on - it'll save you headaches later.
We take a screenshot and run smart algorithms that figure out which colors actually matter. It's not just counting pixels - we look at color placement, visual hierarchy, and how your eye naturally sees the design. Takes about 10 seconds, maybe 15 for really complex sites.
Get your extracted palette with HEX codes, accessibility ratings, and contrast ratios. Click any color to copy it instantly, or export the complete palette in CSS, SCSS, JSON, Figma, Tailwind, or Adobe formats. Ready to use immediately in your projects.
Hey, I'm actually a working designer who got tired of manually extracting color palettes from websites. After 15+ years doing this professionally - working at agencies, consulting for big companies, speaking at design conferences - I built this tool because the manual process was driving me crazy.

We keep updating our color extraction algorithms based on real designer feedback and the latest research in computer vision. This tool is maintained by people who actually use it daily for client work.
"Honestly? This has saved my butt so many times. Client shows me a site and goes 'can we use these exact colors?' Now instead of playing color guessing games, I just grab them in 10 seconds."
"Used to screenshot sites and manually eyedrop colors in Photoshop like some kind of caveman. This actually gets the real brand colors, not just whatever random pixel I happened to click on."
"The accessibility compliance checking is a game-changer. We can ensure WCAG standards are met from the very beginning instead of fixing everything later when the client freaks out."
Just paste any website URL into our tool and hit "Extract Colors". We'll screenshot the page and figure out all the important colors for you. Takes maybe 10 seconds tops, and you get the hex codes plus info about whether the colors actually work well together.
Way better than trying to manually pick colors yourself. Our color palette extractor catches everything - the main brand colors, subtle accent colors, even those background tints you might miss. No more "oh crap, I forgot about that blue they use for links."
Absolutely! Export to all major design platforms including Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, CSS, SCSS, Tailwind CSS, and JSON formats. Each export is optimized so you can just drop it right into your existing workflow without any fiddling around.
Yep, every extracted color includes WCAG contrast ratios and accessibility ratings. This means you won't accidentally create something that's impossible to read. We learned this the hard way from angry clients, so now it's built right in.
Pretty darn accurate. We use smart algorithms that look at where colors are placed, how they're used, and which ones your eye naturally focuses on. It's like having a designer manually pick colors, but way faster and more consistent.
Nope, completely free with unlimited usage. Extract color palettes from as many websites as you want. We figure this should just exist - the web is full of beautiful color schemes, and designers should be able to learn from them easily.

Our color extraction engine uses smart algorithms that actually understand design, not just pixel counting. It's like having an experienced designer manually pick colors, but way faster and more consistent.
Smart computer vision algorithms that analyze website screenshots using advanced color grouping techniques. We look at where colors are placed, how they're used in the design hierarchy, and which ones your eye naturally focuses on - not just which pixels appear most often.
Automatic WCAG contrast ratio calculations for all color combinations, accessibility compliance scoring, and color blindness compatibility checking. No more angry emails from users who can't read your text.
Seamless conversion to HEX, RGB, HSL, and CMYK color formats with ready-to-use code snippets for CSS custom properties, SCSS variables, Tailwind CSS classes, and direct integration files for Figma and Adobe Creative Suite.
High-speed processing with smart caching, optimized screenshot capture at multiple resolutions, and efficient color processing algorithms that deliver results in seconds while maintaining accuracy and detail.
Manual color picking is honestly a pain. You're sitting there with the eyedropper tool, clicking around, hoping you got the right shade. Plus you always miss something important.
Our tool grabs everything automatically - main brand colors, subtle accent colors, even those background tints you might miss. No more "oh crap, I forgot about that blue they use for links."
Browser extensions only pick individual colors one at a time and lack accessibility analysis or professional export options.
Our platform analyzes entire websites at once, provides WCAG compliance checking, and exports complete palettes in formats optimized for professional design workflows.
Paid alternatives often charge monthly fees and may lack comprehensive accessibility features or limit export formats.
Our free tool provides the same professional-grade analysis with unlimited usage, complete accessibility checking, and exports for all major design platforms. Because this should just exist.
Our color extraction methodology is based on peer-reviewed research in computer vision and color science, combined with real-world experience from working designers:
Every extracted color is automatically tested for WCAG compliance, showing detailed contrast ratios and accessibility ratings. No more building something beautiful that half your users can't actually read.
Export your color palettes to CSS variables, SCSS, JSON, Figma libraries, Adobe Creative Suite swatches, Tailwind CSS classes, and more. Perfect integration with whatever workflow you're already using.
Get professional results in seconds with our optimized extraction engine. Choose between quick mode for instant results or comprehensive analysis for deep color discovery and brand analysis.

Each identified color is converted to multiple formats (HEX, RGB, HSL, CMYK) and automatically analyzed for WCAG accessibility compliance including detailed contrast ratios and usability recommendations.
Choose from multiple export formats including CSS variables, Figma color libraries, Adobe swatches, and development-ready code. Perfect for any professional design workflow or development pipeline.
