Making Color Palette From an Image, photoshop

If you want to make a color palette in Photoshop, I have this blank palette template that you can use. The white and black are the basics I always use, neither are pure white or black so that I can add texture to them if I want.

To make a palette simply open the file. I prefer to merge all the layers into one for easier recoloring. But I left them all separate in case you prefer that.

Then lock the new layer so you can recolor it cleanly.

When you use the paint bucket (G) make sure you have "Contiguous" ticked, which means that you will only color one box at a time.

Then open your image in Photoshop. Select the eye dropper tool (I) and click on the color you want to select, which will appear in the color picker under all the tools.

Zoom in to a pixelated view of the image to select just the right color.

When you have the color you want, go back to the palette file and using the paint bucket (G) fill one of the squares.

Continue until you have all the colors you want. Save as a .PNG file to preserve the hard edges and color.
