"In Adobe Illustrator's Image Trace panel, there is a preset called 3 Colors. My question is, when we trace an image using this preset, which three colors will be used for the tracing? Are the colors based on the dominant pixels in the image, or is there another method of selection? Please provide guidance on this query."

Hello @Ghulam Mohyuddin,

Thank you for reaching out. When you use the limited color set option for Image Trace, the colors are selected from the image based on their visibility, with the most dominant colors being chosen first. You can learn more about this process here: Image Trace in Adobe Illustrator.

If you have any further questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us. We’re here to help.

Thanks,
Anubhav

"Thank you for your explanation. I am inquiring specifically about a 3-color preset, not a limited palette. Does the principle you mentioned apply similarly to presets with 3 colors, 6 colors, and 16 colors?"
