Show HN: Impalette, extract color matches from images for predefined palettes

Impalette is an Azure hosted web app that allows users to upload images to find the nearest neighbors of dominant and related colors to predefined color palettes. Currently, Impalette has Pantone C, Sherwin Williams, and Dunn Edwards. I plan on adding more as I find palettes. Additionally, you get back the color names from the respective palettes as well as the hex values.

There’s also an API that allows 1000 requests per day. It’s one endpoint and pretty easy to use. There’s some light documentation on the landing page (just create an account to get access to the API). The API returns Hex, HSV, RGB, and the color’s palette specific name.

I made this in my spare time because I often work with clients who are small and lack a style guide, but have images that contain colors they would like in their final product. This is a quick way for me to figure out colors that will look good on print or paint and get their actual color names.

Thanks for your interest and I hope someone finds it useful! If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them.

Seems pretty cool. For a tool like this though it did confuse me why I'd register for an account. Is this for API access or something else?

Haha I like that detail in the logo.
