Upload your image to HueFlux and the tool automatically extracts 10 dominant colors using k-means clustering. The auto palette appears in the sidebar with percentage coverage for each color. You can click any palette swatch to select that color and then export the full palette in 8 different formats.

Yes! HueFlux supports 8 export formats: CSS variables (:root), Tailwind config file, SCSS variables, JSON, JavaScript array, SVG swatches, Android XML colors.xml, and ASE (Adobe Swatch Exchange) text. Click the Export button in the toolbar to access all formats.
What is WCAG contrast ratio and why does it matter?
WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) contrast ratio measures how readable text appears against a background color. A ratio of 4.5:1 or higher passes AA standard, making your design accessible to people with visual impairments. HueFlux checks this automatically for every color you pick against both white and black backgrounds.
Is my image uploaded to a server? Is it private?
HueFlux is 100% browser-based. Your images are never uploaded to any server. All color extraction, palette generation, and processing happens locally on your device using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your files and colors are completely private.
What is the difference between HEX, RGB and HSL?
HEX is a 6-digit hexadecimal code used in web development (e.g. #2979FF). RGB defines colors by Red, Green, Blue values from 0 to 255. HSL stands for Hue, Saturation, Lightness and is more intuitive for adjusting colors in design. All three represent the same color in different formats — HueFlux shows all of them simultaneously.
Does HueFlux work on mobile phones?
Yes, HueFlux is fully responsive and works on mobile browsers including Chrome and Safari for iOS and Android. You can upload images directly from your phone's camera roll and tap on any area of the image to pick its color.
