Quick Start Guide

Here's how to extract a color palette from an image and work with it in Python:

from Pylette import extract_colors

palette = extract_colors(image='image.jpg', palette_size=10)
# Access colors by index
most_common_color = palette[0]
least_common_color = palette[-1]

# Get color information
print(most_common_color.rgb)
print(most_common_color.hls)
print(most_common_color.hsv)

# Display the palette, and save the image to file
palette.display(save_to_file=True)

# Save palette's color values to CSV
palette.to_csv(filename='color_palette.csv', frequency=True)

# Pick random colors
random_color = palette.random_color(N=1, mode='uniform')
random_colors = palette.random_color(N=100, mode='frequency')

This will give you a palette of 10 colors, sorted by frequency. The image is automatically resized to 256x256 pixels for faster processing. See the documentation for a complete list of available methods and attributes.
