Whats Its Color – Complementary And Primary Colors

If you need to find out primary and complementary colors for your image, then this tool might help you do just that. Whats Its Color is an image color processor that will process images and give back primary and complementary dominant colors. And not only that. It will also give information about how many visually unique colors are there in the image, which are the top ten visually unique colors, and which are the best suited color palettes straight from Adobe kuler.

Image can be specified either through web location or it can be uploaded from your local hard drive, but which ever option you choose, images with black or white background can throw results slightly off. That can be avoided simply by telling the processor to ignore the background color. There is one more option and that is to choose medium or small image size to be displayed after processing is done. It is purely used in order to fit the image in the window and actual processing will be done on a full sized image.

With all that being said, we decided to do a small test. Authors say that more colorful the image, we should get better results and our image will be on a best suited background. We used the following image in order to verify those claims. Without the gray background of course.

Maximum allowed size is 1024 KB and image type must be GIF, JPG, JPEG, or PNG. There is also some security involved meaning that images are deleted off the server 10 minutes after upload and renamed during that process. All in all, this is a nice tool which can help you find complementary and primary image colors which can be useful when you need to design something around images.
