Frequently Asked Questions
How does it work?▾
It uses a simplified k-means clustering algorithm on pixel data. The image is downscaled for performance, then pixels are grouped by color similarity.
Why do results vary slightly?▾
Starting centres are spread across the image's distinct colours (k-means++), so the same image always gives the same palette. Colours are listed from most to least common, with each one's share of the image. If the image has fewer distinct colours than requested, fewer swatches are shown.
