Find Image Colors and Create Responsive CSS Gradient

Posted · Category: Color Schemes, MIT License

The delay between HTTP objects being requested/recieved leaves a timeframe where a webpage can look incomplete. Inspired by Soundclouds’s use of random gradients, Gradify can analyse an image for the 4 most common colors and create a gradient (or solid color) to act as a placeholder image. Gradify is a module which finds the most prominent colors in any image, and produces a scalable, responsive CSS gradient. This can provide a less jarring experience as image placeholders.
