Design systems and themes

By extracting colors from a brand image or reference photo, you can quickly generate a base color set for a design system. The tool suggests name and weight (light, main, dark) for direct use in components.

Each extracted color can be opened directly in the Color Converter to explore variations, check contrast and generate scales.
