In todays video tutorial I’m going over how to create a color palette from a photo using Adobe XD. This is great if you’re trying to create a color palette and are using an image or photograph as your source of inspiration. You can pull out the colors from the image and add them to your desired creation. There are other platforms that help you do this like Squarespace, but if you don’t have that, you can also use Adobe XD to do it!
