Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between average and dominant color?

The average color is the mathematical mean of all pixels blended into one — it can be a muddy mid-tone. The dominant color is the single most-frequent color in the image, which usually looks closer to what you perceive as the main color.

How can I use the average color of an image?

Use it as a matching background, a theme accent, or a low-detail placeholder shown while the full image loads. It is a fast way to derive a palette that harmonizes with a photo.

In what formats can I copy the color?

Each result is given as a Hex code, an RGB triplet, and HSL values, so you can paste it straight into CSS, a design tool, or code.

Is the image uploaded to compute its colors?

No. Both the average and dominant colors are calculated in your browser, so the image never leaves your device.
