Impalette - Showcase Project

I made this in my spare time because I often work with clients who are small and lack a style guide, but have images that contain colors they would like in their final product. This is a quick way for me to figure out colors that will look good on print or paint and get their actual color names. If anyone has any questions about how this works or how I did it, I'm very open to answering questions. Impalette is an Azure hosted web app that allows artists, designers, web developers, and other creative professionals to upload images to find the nearest neighbors of dominant and related colors to predefined color palettes such as Pantone C. Impalette is different than other palette generators because 1) it maps to predefined popular color palettes and 2) there are controls that allow users to scan for specific brightness and saturation ranges to get exactly the colors you are looking to extract. Currently, Impalette has Pantone C, Sherwin Williams, and Dunn Edwards. I plan on adding more as I find palettes. Additionally, you get back the color names from the respective palettes as well as the hex values. There’s also an API that allows 1000 requests per day. It’s one endpoint and pretty easy to use. There’s some light documentation on the landing page (just create an account to get access to the API). The API returns Hex, HSV, RGB, and the color’s palette specific name. I think this could be a really cool way to automatically tag images by color or generate dynamic page coloring based on the contents of an image. Thanks for your interest and I hope someone finds it useful! If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them. Technologies used: -Redis -ASP.NET MVC -jQuery -Azure
