Frequently asked questions

Do I get CMYK values?

Yes. Every color the AI extracts includes CMYK-friendly approximations alongside HEX and RGB values so you can apply them accurately in print layouts. CMYK figures help prevent unexpected color shifts between your screen preview and the final press run. When ordering postcards, brochures, or flyers through Cheap RUSH Printing, use these values to specify colors in your design files.

How do I ensure contrast?

Each color suggestion includes a contrast rating against common background tones. After selecting a palette, run the pairing through the color contrast checker for a full WCAG-style score to confirm text stays legible on colored stock. This two-step approach catches problem combinations before you commit to a print run and avoids costly reprints from hard-to-read typography.

Can I base palettes on logos?

Yes. Upload your existing logo and the extractor identifies the dominant and accent hues, then builds a coordinated palette around them. This keeps new print pieces, such as brochures, banners, and postcards ordered through Cheap RUSH Printing, visually consistent with your established brand identity rather than drifting toward colors that clash on press.

Is this free to use?

Yes, the AI color palette extractor is completely free as part of the growing collection of free-stuff tools at Cheap RUSH Printing. No account or credit card is required. Simply upload an image, explore the generated swatches, and export the values you need for your next design project, whether it is a quick social post or a full print campaign.

Can your team do this for me instead of using the online tool?

Yes. The browser tool is free and private, but if you would rather not rely on it alone, upload your files via our complimentary file uploader and request Human + AI help with “Palette AI”. Our prepress team will review manually — with AI assistance — and reply for free.
