Imagecolors NPM

Image Colors

Use a combination of color quantization algorithms and human fiddling to get human perceivable colors out of an image.

Install

This module depends on ImageMagick and requires Node.js 12+ (tested on 12, 14, and 16).

[~] brew install imagemagick
[~] npm i imagecolors

Usage

const imageColors = require('imagecolors');
async function example() {
	const extracted = await imageColors.extract('./photo.jpg', 8);
	const converted = await imageColors.convert(colors, './palette.json');
	console.log({ extracted, converted });
}
example();

Note: There are working examples in the /examples folder.

Format

Returned color objects look like this:

[{
    pixels      : 208781,
    hex         : '#F0F0DC',
