This week, we’re taking inventory of colors—the ones around you, in your environment, in your memories, or in your photos.

Extract colors from an image – use the prepped palette or upload your own photo to generate one (see ‘Guided Starting Point’)
Log the color of your environment throughout the day – snap or remember what you see at different times.
Assign a color to each mood or moment you experienced this week – turn feelings into swatches.
Generate a palette with code, logic, or chance – use randomness, math, or your own color rules.

The only rule: your project must express or reflect color as data.

I’ve prepped a starter sketch for you!

It analyzes an image and extracts its 5 most dominant colors using LAB color clustering.
