About

TintTrove

Features
Read full description

TintTrove is a utility app that analyzes images to extract their dominant colors. You can get the average color that represents the mood of the image, or you can get the representative colors among the many colors that make up the image. The dominant colors are not the exact colors that appear in the image, but they are approximate colors of the elements. When editing photos, you can use the average color to add elements that match the mood of the image, or you can use the domianant colors to try to create a design that is in harmony with the image. You can quickly extract the average color and dominant colors of an image by selecting it. You can simply copy the code by long-pressing the extracted colors and apply them in your current work.
