What is HueGrab?

HueGrab is a free color palette generator that works from your own pictures. Drop in a photo, artwork or screenshot and it pulls out the main colours, ordered by how much of the picture each one covers. Click any swatch to copy its HEX code.

Choose 4, 6 or 8 colours on Free, or 12 and 16 with Pro. Every swatch shows its HEX code, its RGB values and its share of the image. Copy the whole list of HEX codes at once, or copy the palette as ready-to-use CSS variables for your website.

Your picture is read in your web browser and never uploaded, and there is no file to save: you copy the colours straight away. It's a quick way to match brand colours, build a moodboard or pick slide colours that go with a photo.

What you can do

  • The real main colours

    HueGrab groups similar shades together, so you get the colours that make up the picture rather than random pixels.

  • HEX and RGB

    Every swatch shows its HEX code and RGB values. Click it to copy the HEX code.

  • Copy as a list or CSS

    Copy all HEX codes in one go, or as CSS variables (--color-1, --color-2 and so on) ready to paste into a stylesheet.

  • Ordered by share

    Colours are sorted by how much of the picture they cover, with the percentage shown on each swatch.

  • Ignores see-through areas

    Transparent parts of a PNG are skipped, so a logo's palette isn't filled with empty background.
