Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the free online dominant color finder.
Every pixel is placed into a bucket based on its high bits, the buckets are counted, and the
eight largest are averaged into hex colours.
More bits per channel means smaller buckets and more precise colours, while fewer bits merge
similar shades into broader groups.
The share tells you what portion of the sampled pixels fell into that bucket, so you can
judge how important the colour really is.
A coarse setting merges nearby shades into one bucket, so a single colour can cover a much
larger share of the image.
No. The picture is drawn on a local canvas and the pixel counting happens in your browser, so
nothing is transmitted.
Yes. The hex values can be pasted straight into a design tool, and the share helps you pick a
sensible background and accent colour.
Only the eight largest buckets are reported, so a small but vivid element may fall outside
the top eight and be left out.
The hex value is the average of the real pixels inside that bucket, which is more faithful
than the bucket corner value alone.
Yes. The finder is fully responsive and works in any modern mobile browser with photos from
the camera roll.
