Color palette from a photo

Moodboards start with a photo. Turning that photo into a color palette you can actually ship in CSS is the hard part. Mewix keeps extraction private in the browser.

Workflow

1. Open Colors from image.
2. Drop a photo, screenshot, or brand still.
3. Review the extracted swatches.
4. Copy HEX/RGB values into your design tokens.
5. Refine individual colors in the color picker or build structured sets with the palette generator.

Tips for cleaner palettes

• Prefer photos with a clear lighting story (one key light) over chaotic collages
• Remove UI chrome from screenshots if you only want brand colors
• Check contrast of text-on-background pairs in the contrast checker before locking tokens
• Limit production palettes to 5–7 core colors; save accents separately

Privacy

Product shots and unreleased campaign art stay on your device during extraction—no upload step for the core tool.
