Free tool · nothing leaves your device

Art that matches the room it's going in.

Photograph your wall, your sofa, your cushions — whatever the art has to live with. This reads the actual colours out of the photo and hands you a prompt you can paste straight into any AI image tool, plus prints already in those colours.

Your photo stays on your device. The colours are read in your own browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored or sent anywhere — you can turn off your internet and this still works.

Add a photo and the palette, the prompt and the previews all appear here.

Why match to a photo rather than guess

Describing a room in words loses the thing that matters. “Warm neutrals” covers several hundred colours, and the one on your wall is a specific one. A photograph carries the exact value, and a hex code carries it into the prompt intact — so what comes back relates to your room instead of a generic idea of it.

What to photograph

  • Include the wall the art will hang on, plus whatever sits beneath it. That is what the piece has to agree with.
  • Shoot in daylight if you can. Warm bulbs push everything yellow and the palette will follow them.
  • Get the textiles in frame. Cushions, throws and rugs usually carry the accent colours — walls are mostly neutral, and accents are what make art belong.

Then what

Take the prompt to whichever image tool you use. Generate at the largest size it offers — an A3 print needs about 3,508 × 4,961 pixels, which is more than most tools give you by default. Then the planner will tell you where it hangs.

If you would rather buy than generate, the palette works as a shopping filter too — the searches at step four are built from your own colours.
