How can I Find the Average Color of a Photograph?

Many popular image-editing tools allow you to determine the average color of a small section of an image, but we couldn't find any that could calculate the average color of an entire photograph. Enter, the Average Color Tool.


Possible Uses

  • Convince your landlord that the carpet by the entry isn't as dirty as she claims it is.
  • Prove that fruit sellers put the best-looking fruit in the most prominent location.
  • Use your own travel photos to decorate a room; a well-chosen combination could dramatically emphasize the beauty of your photos.
  • Monitor how the greens in your garden change from season to season.
