How to get the palette of a painting

Upload the artworkA photo of the painting, a print or a museum image. Best taken straight on, without glare.
Pick a modeDominant shows the main colors; Vivid, the accents; Soft, the background tones.
Use the paletteCopy the codes, save the palette or download an image with the painting and its colors.

The percentages show how much each color covers: large ones are the base, small ones the accents.
When painting, find the closest color in your tubes and mix toward the palette's shade.
Museum images online usually have truer color than a phone photo.
Compare paintings by the same artist: you will see the colors they keep coming back to.

Does it work for oil paintings or watercolors?

Yes. It reads the colors of the photo, whether it is oil, watercolor, acrylic or digital art.

Are the colors the same as the real painting?

They depend on the photo: light and the camera change the tones. Use a good-quality image taken straight on.

Can I use the palette in my designs?

Yes. You can copy it, save it or export it to CSS, Tailwind or GIMP.
