  • Experiment with Palette Size: Adjust the dominant color slider. A smaller count gives a more general overview, while a larger count can reveal subtle accent colors.
  • Average vs. Dominant: The average color provides a mathematical mean, which might not always be the most visually prominent. Refer to the dominant color palette for key thematic colors.
