## What it is
A JavaScript port of Android's Palette class that extracts prominent colors from images, producing swatches like Vibrant, Muted, and Dark variants. This repository is deprecated in favor of the node-vibrant project.

## Use cases
- extract dominant colors from an image in the browser
- generate a color palette from a photo for UI theming
- find a vibrant accent color matching an album cover
- pick readable text colors to overlay on images
- port Android Palette color extraction to JavaScript

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight browser-side color palette extractor and are on an old setup
- you want an API mirroring Android's Palette class

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use node-vibrant instead, as this repo is deprecated and unmaintained
- you need Node.js or UMD support with ongoing development

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: image-processing, graphics
- domain: image-processing, web-development, frontend
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: color-extraction, palette, deprecated, javascript, nodejs
