node-vibrant is a TypeScript library that extracts prominent color palettes (vibrant, muted, light/dark variants) from images. It provides an identical API for Node.js, browser, and Web Worker environments.

Use cases

• extract dominant colors from an image
• generate a color palette from a picture
• build dynamic theming based on album art
• get vibrant and muted swatches from images in the browser
• extract colors from images in Node.js
• run color quantization in a web worker

When to choose

• you need prominent color extraction in JavaScript/TypeScript across Node and browser
• you want consistent palette results with vibrant/muted/light/dark swatches
• you want to offload quantization to a Web Worker to avoid blocking the UI

When to avoid

• you need pixel-perfect identical palettes across different browsers or machines, since canvas rendering is platform-dependent
• you need color extraction in a non-JavaScript environment
• you need full image editing or manipulation rather than palette extraction
