What is a dominant color?
A dominant color is the hue that carries the most visual weight in a photo — often the largest coverage, the strongest brand signal, or both.
EditTools Online extracts those colors with coverage percentages, image analysis, branding roles, and exports designers use every day.
Method
How dominant colors are calculated
We sample the photo, group similar colors, then rank them by how much of the image they cover and the style you pick — so “vibrant” and “brand” can surface different leaders from the same photo.

Branding use cases
