Gradient Palette Extractor
Sample a gradient into a practical list of intermediate colors.
Sample colors from a gradient
A gradient is a smooth blend, but sometimes you need discrete colors from it — evenly spaced stops for a chart, a palette, or a set of tags. This extractor samples a gradient into a practical list of intermediate colors you can copy individually.
Pulling stops from a gradient gives you a coordinated palette that already flows, which is ideal for data series and multi-item UI. Set the two ends and the count, and copy the sampled hex values.
Discrete stops, locally
It samples evenly spaced points along the blend so you get distinct swatches for a chart or tag set. The extraction runs in your browser and never uploads anything.
Frequently asked questions
What does the gradient palette extractor do?
It samples intermediate hex colors between two selected gradient endpoints.
How are the in-between colors calculated?
By linear interpolation of the red, green, and blue channels, evenly spaced from start to end. The first and last swatches are exactly your two endpoints.
Why do the middle colors look dull?
Blending complementary colors in RGB passes through gray. Pick endpoints closer in hue, or add a third brighter color in the middle, for cleaner transitions.
What can I use the sampled colors for?
Chart series, step indicators, tag colors, or a heat scale, anywhere you need a consistent sequence of related colors taken from one brand gradient.
