Sometimes we take a great photo and want to get a color palette from it so we can create our next design. Extracting colors from a photo is not difficult, but getting a complete palette with colors that “match” is not so easy.
That’s what the Colorgizes does, an app for iPhone and Android that has a very simple and useful operation: we indicate a photo of ours and we extract the colors to use the palette in any other work.
The process can be automatic if we wish. As seen in the screenshot above, there is a blue palette right on the photo, but we can also decide to customize the result by altering the selected color.
It is important to remember that the colors we see in nature are not absolute, they depend on the light (after all colors are “light”), so when taking a picture we may not see exactly the same colors we see with our eyes. That is the reason why they decided, from colorgizes, to offer the possibility of altering what was captured so that the palette adapts better to what we want.
Its usefulness can be very varied. From choosing the colors of a website headed by a photograph, to deciding the colors of the letters and elements of an image uploaded to social networks, having a suitable palette is essential in any graphic design creation.
