Brand Colors from URL

At a glance

The community member is interested in using WebStudio for affiliate marketing and would like the ability to automatically create a color scheme based on the colors used on a provided URL. This would save time compared to manually creating a color palette to match the affiliate site. The community member also suggests using AI to scrape the affiliate site for content that could be used to create web snippets and headlines.

Other community members agree that this would be a useful feature and discuss the technical requirements, such as a color palette UI and AI-powered web scraping. They also mention some existing tools that can extract color palettes from websites, such as Web Colour Data, Color Palette Generator, and Pictaculous.

While this feature is not currently available in WebStudio, the community members suggest it could be a great integration or plugin in the future, especially for the affiliate marketing community.

I plan on using WebStudio for my affiliate marketing work. What I would love is the ability to create brand colors I'm trying to mimic by providing Webstudio with a URL so that it can visit it and create a color scheme based on what's currently being used on the provided URL. Often times, I have to manually go through that process, create a color palette for my forms, landing page to mimic the affiliate site for consistency purposes. Being able to start a new Affiliate Project, pointing Webstudio to the URL i want to mimic, it pulling the colors from the site and creating a color palette for me to use as part of a BRAND identity, would save a lot of time.

Additionally, if we could somehow use the AI feature to scrape through the affiliate site as a knowledge source so that I can then utilize that content in creating web snippets, headlines, etc. would be even more amazing.

What's up Derek! I agree that it would be super cool to be able to enter a URL and import a bunch of colors into Webstudio.

In my mind it would take a lot of pieces to come together in order to achieve this. We'd need a color palette UI for starters, and some AI wizardry for scraping the websites for colors and generating tokens.

I think it would be a big and worthwhile undertaking that would make us upgrade our color, variables and AI systems. @Oleg Isonen @Alex do y'all wanna weigh in?

Ah when I first skimmed this I thought it was about making our brand colors available.

Now I see you're looking for tools that can analyze a website and extract a color palette based on the colors used in that site. Here are some tools that can do this:

Web Colour Data: This web service finds out which colors are used on a given web page. You simply submit a URL, and the service auto-extracts and analyzes the colors on that page

Color Palette Generator: This tool allows you to enter the URL of an image to get a color palette that matches the image. It's useful for developing a website color scheme that matches a stock photo or a specific webpage

Pictaculous: Although primarily used for generating a color palette from PNG, JPG, or GIF images, you can potentially use this tool with images from a website to get their color palettes

This will probably not be a native Webstudio feature but it would make a great integration/plugin someday @DarekL

@Mark @Taylor thanks for the apps mentioned. Let me see if I can automate the process of gathering all that info through my RPA application when I provide a URL so it’s all in one spot without the manual intervention. But an integration of this sort would be pretty nice too. Especially for the affiliate marketing community to streamline their workflow while using Webstudio to do it. That’s just another way to separate yourselves from other web builders.
