Visual Extraction

Drag and drop any screenshot or UI element. Hue uses high-density HTML5 canvas sampling to instantly read thousands of pixels natively in your browser.

Semantic Math Engine

Hue doesn't just list colors. It calculates HSL luminance and saturation to automatically assign colors to functional UI roles (Primary, Accent, Background).

Tailwind Export

Once extracted, Hue generates a production-ready Tailwind CSS theme object. One click copies the exact configuration block for your stylesheet.

Under the Hood

The robust math powering Lumist Hue.

Sampling

2D Grid Extraction

Hue reads images into an off-screen HTML5 canvas at native resolution, performing a high-density 2D grid sample to accurately capture thin banners and accents without causing interpolation washout.

Processing

Logarithmic Dominance Scoring

Colors are bucketed by HSL values and scored using a logarithmic scale that multiplies saturation by frequency, guaranteeing that true brand colors win over isolated high-saturation illustration noise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are my uploaded images sent to a server?

No. The image processing happens 100% locally in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your images are never uploaded or stored anywhere.

Does it work with gradients?

Yes! By mathematically bucketing HSL values in 20-degree slices, Hue merges scattered gradient pixels back into single, powerful primary colors.
