Color Palette Extractor
Extract dominant colors from CSS, SVG, or hex color codes in text.
About Color Palette Extractor
The Color Palette Extractor scans CSS stylesheets, SVG markup, HTML files, or plain text for all color definitions — parsing hex codes (#RRGGBB, #RGB), RGB/RGBA functions, HSL/HSLA functions, and named CSS colors — then presents them as a unified visual palette with hex, RGB, and HSL representations. Design systems require precise documentation of all colors in use, and this tool replaces manual color auditing with instant automated extraction for any codebase or markup file.
How to Use
Paste CSS code, SVG markup, HTML source, or any text containing color values into the input area. The tool scans for all color syntax patterns and renders each discovered color as a swatch with its hex, RGB, and HSL values below. Click any swatch to copy the color value to clipboard, or export the full palette as a CSS custom property list, JSON object, or flat hex list.

- Extracting all color values from a CSS stylesheet to create a comprehensive design token inventory for a design system migration
- Auditing SVG icon libraries and illustration files to identify all colors used and check brand color compliance
- Discovering redundant near-duplicate colors in legacy stylesheets to consolidate the palette before a design refresh
- Generating a color reference document from existing frontend code for design team handoffs and brand guideline creation
- Verifying WCAG contrast compliance by extracting foreground and background colors from component CSS for accessibility auditing
