How to extract colors: Step-by-step guide

01

Select "Colors" mode on the homepage

On the CloneAnyWeb homepage, click the Colors checkbox in the fetch options row. This switches the tool to color extraction mode, telling it to scan for all color values instead of cloning the full page.

02

Paste a URL and click Fetch

Enter any website URL in the input field and click Fetch Site. The full HTML, CSS stylesheets, and inline styles are downloaded and scanned for every hex code and RGB value on the page.

03

Colors are automatically classified

Each color is analyzed using RGB luminosity math and assigned to a color family — Reds, Blues, Greens, Purples, Yellows, Oranges, Grays, Blacks, and Whites. The top 6 most distinctive colors are highlighted as the Primary Palette.
