You can deploy your own instance on heroku by clicking the following button

What it do

Extracts 10 dominating colors from the image and adds the palette to the bottom of the image (inspired by colorpalette.cinema). You can adjust the palette height, outline color, and width to match your image dimension. Another independent image of the palette with the hex codes of colors is also generated.

The app does not depend on any APIs for extracting colors. color.py contains the code for it with Pillow as the only dependency.

colorpalette's Issues

colorpalette.xyz/ timed out :(

That's fine if you don't want to host it anymore, just maybe either remove the URL references from your repo or put a 'parking' page up.

Thanks for your tool!
