Palette from a Work

Reads the five dominant colours of a work from a photograph, on your device and without uploading anything, and proposes a room palette from them: the ground tone lightened for the walls, the secondaries for textiles, the accent kept for one object.

How the room is derived

  • Wall: the largest colour in the work, lightened to about 85 percent and greyed to a third of its saturation.
  • Ceiling: the wall with a touch more white.
  • Textiles: the second and third colours, at half saturation.
  • Accent: the most saturated colour in the work, used once, in one object.
