Using a photo's palette

A color palette pulled from a photo is a fast way to build a cohesive scheme for design, décor, or a scrapbook page — the colors already work together because they came from a single image. The tool samples the photo and groups similar colors to surface the dominant ones, giving you hex and RGB codes you can drop straight into any design tool.

With old photos, remember that faded or color-shifted originals give a muted, off palette. If you want the true colors, restore the photo first — correcting fading and casts brings back the original tones the palette should be built from.

Faded colors? Restore the true ones.

Correct fading and color casts — or colorize black-and-white — so the palette reflects the real photo.
