What problem does it solve?

Designers and photographers often need to understand the colour makeup of an image beyond what their eyes can approximate. Chroma Census gives an exact breakdown, turning a subjective impression into objective data.

How it works

Drop an image into the page. The tool samples every pixel, maps each one to a hue range, and renders the distribution as a visual breakdown. The result shows which colours dominate, which are accents, and how the palette is weighted. Everything runs in the browser.

Whom it’s for

Designers checking palette consistency, photographers evaluating colour grading, and anyone curious about what makes an image feel the way it does.

Tech

Client-side pixel analysis using the Canvas API.
