Color Thief with Jimp for NodeJs

A script for grabbing the color palette from an image. Uses Javascript and the Jimp to make it happen. This fork does NOT use canvas, and is can only used with NodeJs.

Install NodeJs

Install the module via npm

npm install color-thief-jimp --save

And use it:

var ColorThief = require('color-thief-jimp');

How to use

Get the dominant color from an image

var ColorThief = require('color-thief-jimp');

// getColor(sourceImage[, quality])
var dominantColor = ColorThief.getColor(sourceImage);
// dominantColor = [intRed, intGreen, intBlue]

Build a color palette from an image

In this example, we build an 8 color palette.

var ColorThief = require('color-thief-jimp');

// getPalette(sourceImage[, colorCount, quality])
var palette = ColorThief.getPalette(sourceImage, 8);
// palette = [ [intRed, intGreen, intBlue], [intRed, intGreen, intBlue], ... ]
