Use a photo palette to plan an interior colour direction
Extract an interior palette, compare colour roles and check physical samples in the room before purchasing.
Quick answer
Use Color Viewfinder to collect a colour direction from a room or inspiration photo. Treat the digital palette as a planning reference and verify real materials under the room’s lighting.
Step by step
Choose a representative photograph
Use an image with a useful mix of walls, furniture and accents. Note strong filters or unusual lighting that could change the apparent colours.
Separate large surfaces and accents
Choose a restrained base for large areas and a small number of accent colours. Compare them with materials you will keep in the room.
Check physical samples
View paint, fabric and flooring samples in the actual room at different times of day. Do not purchase from a screen colour alone.
A practical example
Extract a palette from a living-room photo, then compare paint samples beside the existing sofa in morning and evening light.
Before you use the result
HEX and RGB describe digital colour. They do not directly identify a paint brand, a fabric dye or the way a surface will look under every light source.
