I just found a cool Firefox plugin that I really like. It’s called ColorSuckr. After installing it, you can right-click any photo on the web and extract the main colors from the image in order to create a color scheme.

Here are the results of sucking colors out of the above image. The algorithm looks for the twelve most common colors in the image and provides you with hex & RGB values of the color. It even suggests the nearest web-safe color as well.

For the text of this post, I am using three of the colors ColorSuckr found in my image. I have done this sort of thing before using the eyedropper in Photoshop, but this handy tool takes the guesswork out of knowing which colors are the most prevalent.
