Why are there more colours than I expected?
An SVG may contain separate fill and stroke colours, several gradient stops, and colours declared in styles or definitions. Some declared values may not contribute to the visible artwork. Use the preview to understand where the colours are used.
Why does a sampled colour differ from the source value?
Gradients, transparency, overlapping shapes and smoothing at edges can change the colour visible at a particular point. For a defined solid colour, inspect its fill or stroke value. For the appearance of a gradient, compare the sampled point with the original stops.
Can I use this with a PNG or JPG?
This tool accepts SVG files. Placing a PNG or JPG inside an SVG does not turn its pixels into individually defined SVG fills and strokes. For a logo's original colour values, use the vector source file where possible.
Why are some colours missing or different?
An SVG can depend on styles, inherited values or linked content supplied by the website where it normally appears. An isolated file may not include that context. Try a self-contained SVG export with its required styles included, and compare it with the original artwork.
Does an extracted colour give me an exact Pantone match?
No. An SVG colour value does not establish a physical ink specification. The HEX to RGB and Pantone converter can help compare approximate matches, but approved brand guidelines and a physical reference should guide print colour choices.
