Palette Extraction

Palette Extraction lets Zenboard analyze an image card and generate a compact set of dominant colors.

This is useful when you already collected an image and want to convert it into a reusable color reference.

How to Use It

1. open an image card in Smart Viewer
2. click the palette extraction button in the toolbar
3. review the extracted color tray
4. copy any individual color or save the full set as a new palette card

What the Extraction Tray Does

The extraction tray gives you a quick intermediate step before saving.

From the tray, you can:

• preview the extracted colors
• copy a single color immediately
• save the entire extracted set as a Palette Card

When to Use It

Palette Extraction works especially well for:

• screenshots of apps or websites
• photography references
• illustrations and keyframes
• moodboards with a clear color direction
• imported assets you want to translate into a working palette

Best Paired With

• Image Cards when starting from a visual reference
• Smart Viewer when inspecting the result
• Color Picker when you want to manually refine the extracted palette with additional sampled colors
