Pro Tips for Better Color Extraction
Use High-Quality Images
Higher resolution images with good color depth provide more accurate color extraction. Avoid heavily compressed or low-quality images for best results.
Consider Image Composition
Images with clear color areas and good contrast provide better extraction results than images with muddy or overly complex color mixtures.
Test Different Crops
Try extracting colors from different sections of your image. Sometimes cropping to focus on specific areas yields more targeted and useful color palettes.
Validate for Accessibility
