4 Palette Variations — What's the Difference?

Each photo generates four ready-to-use variations. Here's when to use each one.

Extracted Colors

The actual dominant hues pulled from your photo using pixel analysis. These are the most representative colors in the image.

Best for: Primary brand colors, logo, hero sections

Light Variations

Higher-brightness, lower-saturation versions of the extracted colors. Soft and airy — they recede visually without disappearing.

Best for: Page backgrounds, card surfaces, hover states

Muted / Desaturated

Toned-down versions with reduced saturation. They feel sophisticated and are easier on the eyes for sustained reading.

Best for: Body text areas, secondary UI elements, subtle borders

Bold / High Saturation

Amplified saturation for maximum visual impact. These pop off any background and demand attention.

Best for: CTAs, badges, highlights, notifications, accents
