Check color profile and convert to sRGB for web use.

Too many similar swatches

Reduce sample count or merge near-duplicate tones.

Low-quality images produce noisy results

Use higher-resolution source files where possible.

Security and privacy notes

Image analysis happens in-browser and is not uploaded to remote services.
Avoid using sensitive customer images when screen sharing extraction sessions.
Delete temporary image files after palette confirmation.

Step-by-step workflow

Start with a minimal input for Image Color Extractor and verify baseline behavior first.
Make assumptions explicit: encoding, delimiter strategy, and timezone.
Change one variable at a time and compare output diffs.
Keep one verified output snapshot as a team reference.

Quality checklist before sharing output

Confirm Image Color Extractor output is deterministic across repeated runs with identical input.
Check boundary inputs (empty values, long fields, invalid characters).
Remove sensitive data before sharing output externally.
Verify final rendering on both desktop and mobile viewports.
