A few years ago I created a Chrome extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/palette-creator/oolpphfmdmjbojolagcbgdemojhcnlod https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/palette-creator/oo...) to do exactly this. You right-click on an image, select Palette Creator, and you get a palette with the number of colors you requested. I recently ported it to Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/palette-creator/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/palette-creat...) and Opera (https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/palette-creator/ https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/palette-creat...) too. It clusters the colors using Kohonen neural networks (which always makes me giggle, because "Kohonen" sounds like a Spanish swear word). The source for it all is here: https://github.com/unindented/palette-creator https://github.com/unindented/palette-creator Unrelated: Every week I receive an offer to "monetize" my extension from the shadiest companies all over the world. I'm guessing they'd add all kinds of tracking to it, make it inject ads and fake results into the pages the user is viewing, etc. So yeah, be careful who you trust when it comes to browser extensions!
