## About

Came across some tweets by [Shayan](https://twitter.com/imsh4yy?s=21&t=ETlRoiFLQAAJRfdOAWUkEg) about LogSnag. He put up this amazing UI where gradients were formed based on a selected emoji. I scourged the comments for any hint on how he achieved this, found none, so I decided to create mine.

## How does it work

When you pass in an emoji as a string, it gets drawn unto an html canvas. This allows us to get the image back as a base64 encoded image.

From this, we're able to move through the pixels in the image to get all the relevant colors.

## Usage

```ts

// import generatePalette

import { generatePalette } from "emoji-palette";

// Pass your emoji to this method

const palette = generatePalette("👍");

```

The method returns an array of colors, in their order of luminance.

So you can get the median color in the palette if you need one.

```ts

const dominantColor = palette[Math.floor(palette.length / 2)];

```

Colors are returned as `rgb` strings.
