Discovery, not search

Find art by the colour it is made of.

Every palette here was extracted from the image itself — five weighted colours per work, clustered in CIELAB so they group the way your eye groups them. Pick a colour and the collection re-ranks by perceptual distance.

How the ranking works

Drag the ring or use the arrow keys. Every result is ranked by how close it is in CIELAB, weighted by how much of the canvas the colour covers.
