www.GenoPal.com is a website that offers free online tools for building color palettes from your images:
- Pic2Color captures color swatches from images
- Pic2Palette builds a complementary color palette based on dominant colors
- in a photo
- Pic2Graphics recolors artwork
You can use images that are already online, pictures from your own hard drive, or let the tools randomly pick from GenoPal’s own image collection.
Once you’ve created color swatches, you can then download them as ASE files for the Adobe applications. This an easy, educational, and cost-free way to experiment with color palettes.
