Sometimes you’ve got an image or logo that is going to become the central focus of a website, and you’ll need to build a color scheme around it. This task just got a whole lot easier.
Colors return in Hex and Web safe colors – you even get RGB.
- Flickr pages: If you enter a Flickr photo page (e.g. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bitterlysweet/33358201/) in the ‘Enter image url’ box, ColorSuckr will find the main photo.
- Web pages: If you enter a web page url (e.g. http://abduzeedo.com/) instead of an image, ColorSuckr will scan the page and show you the images on it & you can choose from there.
- Use color photos: Yes, this sounds silly, but black and white images will only return a few shades of grey.
- Bookmarklet: Drag and drop this link – Get image colors – into your bookmarks bar or save it to your favourites and make getting colors from web images easy. Next time you are on a webpage with images you’d like to get colors from – just click the bookmark. (Works on images larger than 50px x 50px)
And the best part – it’s also a Firefox plugin. Yep, install it and all you need to do is right click on any image in any website and chose “Extract image colors”
A fine way to get a color scheme quickly.
