How it works

  • Press Cmd-Shift-I to open From Image.
  • Choose your image — a photo, a logo export, a moodboard, a screenshot.
  • Read the dominant colors Pocket CVI pulls from the pixels.
  • Save them to a collection so they land in the right brand sheet.

Why it matters

Reverse-engineering a palette by eye is slow and inexact. Extraction reads the real pixel data and surfaces the colors doing the heavy lifting, so you match a reference instead of approximating it.

Where it's useful

Matching a client's existing photography, lifting a palette from an inspiration shot, or recovering brand colors from a flat logo file with no spec sheet — extraction handles all of it and hands you copy-ready HEX, RGB and HSL.

FAQ

Straight into a collection you choose, joining the rest of that brand kit's colors, logos and fonts in one brand sheet.
