color-palette-extractor

Extract color palettes from images, websites, or designs. Identifies dominant colors, generates complementary schemes, and exports in multiple formats (HEX, RGB, HSL, Tailwind, CSS variables). Use when users need color schemes from images, brand colors, or design system palettes.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
3 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by OneWave-AI on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Color Palette Extractor AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/OneWave-AI/claude-skills.git /tmp/claude-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/claude-skills/color-palette-extractor .claude/skills/color-palette-extractor

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Color Palette Extractor in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Color Palette Extractor on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Color Palette Extractor is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Color Palette Extractor

Extract and generate accessible color palettes from images, websites, and designs.

references/output-template.md — full report structure for presenting a palette
references/export-formats.md — CSS, Tailwind, SCSS, JSON, iOS, Android snippets
references/color-theory.md — harmony schemes, accessibility, extraction best practices

Workflow

Identify the source: image file (PNG, JPG, SVG), website URL, screenshot, design mockup, or an existing color code to build from.
Extract colors.
- From an image: analyze pixel data, identify dominant colors, group similar shades, calculate frequency, and sort by prominence.
- From a website: fetch and parse the CSS, extract color values, and identify brand, accent, text, and background colors.
- Cluster with K-means; extract 5-10 dominant colors. Ignore near-white and near-black unless significant.
Build the primary palette (5-10 colors): most dominant color, 2-3 supporting colors, 1-2 accents, a background, and a text color. Generate an extended palette with tints, shades, tones, and 50-950 numeric scales. See references/color-theory.md.
Run color harmony analysis to produce complementary, analogous, triadic, split-complementary, tetradic, and monochromatic schemes. See references/color-theory.md.
Check accessibility: compute WCAG 2.1 contrast ratios for each text/background pairing and test against protanopia, deuteranopia, and tritanopia. Recommend accessible alternatives where a pairing fails. See references/color-theory.md.
Format the report following references/output-template.md, and export to the requested formats using references/export-formats.md.

Output Requirements

Deliver palettes that have clear dominant colors, sufficient variations, semantic naming, harmony schemes, contrast ratios that pass accessibility checks, usage guidelines, and exports in multiple formats. Produce professional, accessible palettes ready for immediate use in design systems.

Example Triggers

"Extract colors from this screenshot"
"Get color palette from this website"
"Generate a color scheme from this image"
"Create Tailwind config from these colors"
"Find dominant colors in this logo"
"Build a palette from this hex code"

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Color Palette Extractor AI skill do?

Why use Color Palette Extractor on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Color Palette Extractor is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Color Palette Extractor in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/OneWave-AI/claude-skills/tree/main/color-palette-extractor. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Color Palette Extractor?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Color Palette Extractor?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Color Palette Extractor with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Color Palette Extractor AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by OneWave-AI under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
