What this does

Every pixel in your image is sampled and grouped by similar color, then the most common groups become the palette — eight HEX codes that reflect what actually dominates the photo, ready to use for branding or design.

Nothing is uploaded

Sampling happens locally using the canvas element built into your browser. Nothing is sent to Bacon Services.

Click to copy

Click any swatch to copy its HEX code, or copy the whole palette as CSS custom properties at once.

Keep going in the editor

Use these colors directly in the full Bacon editor for text, shapes, and backgrounds.

Common questions

How does this pick the colors?

It groups similar colors and picks the most common groups, not just random pixels.

Does this upload my photo?

No — it's all sampled locally in your browser.

Can I use these for my brand?

Yes — copy any HEX code, or the whole palette as CSS at once.

Can I download the palette?

Yes — as a labelled PNG swatch strip.
