Color Palette Generator

Based on an idea from a Photoshop action I created, I designed this PHP script to parse an image, take random samples from it, and generate a color palette. The results are vary from image to image however, certain pictures will return better results. Made over with JavaScript and CSS this proves to be a simple and powerful tool.

By splitting the image into different sections and sampling from each section, the script will grab an average snapshot of the image and infer a color scheme. This is technique will be used in a future project that will allow you to apply an “image-based theme” to a web site.
