Color Extractor
===============

[](#color-extractor)

Extract colors from image assets in Craft 3. The Craft 2 plugin is moved to [another branch](https://github.com/roelvanhintum/craft-colorextractor/tree/craft-2).

Inner working
-------------

[](#inner-working)

By using the `imageColor` field on each asset, it doesn't require extra database queries when showing colors. On install it creates a task to extract the color for every image.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- A field named `imageColor` on all assets of kind image (can be color or plaintext)
- Craft 3 (we test on the latest release of Craft 3)
- PHP 7.1 at least

Example usage
-------------

[](#example-usage)

Use the `colorExtractor` twig filter to retrieve the image's color from templates.

```

```

From command:

```
craft color-extractor/default
```

Based upon [craft-image-color plugin](https://github.com/familiar-studio/craft-image-color) by familiar-studio.
