Get a Colour Palette from a Photo | Tinta
Frequently asked questions
- Does Tinta pick the colour of the subject or the background?
- The subject. Tinta uses subject-aware colour clustering, so it pulls from what you actually shot rather than the largest flat area in the frame.
- Does the photo have to be recent?
- No. It works on any photo on your device, including older camera roll shots.
- Do my photos get uploaded anywhere?
- No. Everything happens on your device — your photos never leave it. There is no account and no ads.
The short answer
Point Tinta at any picture and it reads the colours that actually matter. Seconds later you have a colour card worth posting, plus the exact shades to use anywhere else.
The distinction that matters is subject-aware clustering: Tinta pulls colour from what you shot, not from the biggest grey area in the frame. A photo of a rust-coloured jacket in front of a beige wall gives you the rust, not the beige.
What each card carries
- The shades it found, in the order they read
- The exact HEX of every swatch
- Harmony suggestions when you want a scheme rather than a single sample
Mounting it
A dozen editorial mount styles turn the same palette into different presentations — instant, film strip, arch window, diptych, spread, deckle edge and more. One swipe changes the whole mood while the colours stay the same.
Your cards collect into a light-table gallery, warm or cool, minimal or vintage.
Exporting
Save or share at up to 4K with P3 wide-gamut colour, with clean edges and real optical grain — sharp enough for the grid and usable for print.
