Extract color palette of an Image

So you want to know the dominant colors of an image? extract them with :

gowall extract /path/to/img.png -c 6

The -c flag is the colors flag it specifies how many hex color codes to return ( i recommend 6-16). The above will print the color codes to the terminal. In order for you to view all the colors of the hex codes at once you can use the -p flag.

gowall extract /path/to/img.png -pc 6

That will open a hex color previewer in your default web browser, simply copy the hex colors from the terminal over there.

tip

If your image consists of lets say 1 color (blue) and you try to extract more colors with gowall extract /path/to/img.png -c 3, then it will return the 1 true color (blue) and produce another 2 shades of blue.
