Take a photo to extract color code

A room you want to repaint, an outfit, a sunset, a client's mockup. Choose a photo from your library or take one with the camera, and the app analyzes it on your device — identifying dominant hues and subtle accents, each with a coverage percentage showing how prominent it is in the image.

Share palettes people can actually use
