In this article, we will learn how to extract color palette from an image using python. We will use python colorgram.py to extract.
Step 1: install colorgram.py
We can use pip to install
pip install colorgram.py
Step 2: extract color palette from an image
We can use colorgram.extract(image, number_of_colors) to extract.
Here is an example:
import colorgram
# Extract 6 colors from an image.
colors = colorgram.extract('test.jpg', 6)
# colorgram.extract returns Color objects, which let you access
# RGB, HSL, and what proportion of the image was that color.
first_color = colors[0]
rgb = first_color.rgb # e.g. (255, 151, 210)
hsl = first_color.hsl # e.g. (230, 255, 203)
proportion = first_color.proportion # e.g. 0.34
# RGB and HSL are named tuples, so values can be accessed as properties.
# These all work just as well:
red = rgb[0]
red = rgb.r
saturation = hsl[1]
saturation = hsl.sIn this example, we will extract 6 colors from image test.jpg.
Run this code, you will see:
