PaletteViva, a Pixel-Exact Color Picker
A browser-based tool that samples exact colors from images, builds palettes, and exports them as CSS, JSON, Tailwind, SVG, or PNG.
Field notes
The tool accepts JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, and BMP files, with a stated 40 MB limit, and describes drag-and-drop, clipboard paste, or file selection as input methods. Its sampling model reads the source image at full resolution and offers a loupe, nearby-pixel strip, and 3×3 or 5×5 aperture options. Palette extraction uses OKLab clustering, then selects swatches that correspond to actual pixels; listed exports include CSS variables, JSON, Tailwind, SVG, and PNG.
