The present invention relates to a method for obtaining the chromatic attributes of natural surroundings, which can be used, under the same parameters, in artificial surroundings or mixed surroundings, by means of digital extraction by taking photographs to generate color patterns (natural surroundings are understood to be those linked to the environment and include landscape, vegetation and fauna; artificial surroundings are those in which humans and/or built; and mixed surroundings involve physical characteristics of artificial and natural surroundings). This method is intended to obtain chromatic palettes used on any type of surface that functions as an imitating factor in diverse fields of application, such as: biosecurity, well-being associated with chromatic perception, color psychology, eco-urban landscape, color trends in dress and products, management of indoor and outdoor spaces, and even for the military sector, insofar as the physical and technical principles would be the same as for the civil sector.
