Clariss
Discover and analyze the colors in an image with Clariss, an image color palette scanner for examining picture colors.
About Clariss
Clariss is a web-based image color palette scanner. Users upload an image and the tool extracts its dominant colors, showing each one as a swatch with its HEX code and closest Pantone (PMS) reference. Results can be copied or downloaded. The tool can also generate palettes from color names or HEX codes and includes a HEX to Pantone converter.
The number of colors extracted depends on the scan depth chosen: Quick (9 colors), Standard (18), Deep (27), or Extended (36). The homepage accepts JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WEBP files. According to the homepage, color extraction runs in the browser and the image is not sent to or stored on a server. Pantone references are described as closest matches, not exact matches.
