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.
Choose your Image
Simply use the boxes below to upload a photo (.jpg or .jpeg files only) from your computer or directly from URL, and the average color tool will take care of the rest. (Maximum filesize: 2 Megabytes)
if ($p->error): ?>if (($p->error['code'] == 1 ) || ($p->error['code'] == 2)):?> Error: Your file was larger than 2MB elseif (in_array($p->error['code'], array(3, 4))) :?> Error: Upload failed, Please try again elseif (in_array($p->error['code'], array(6, 7, 8, 100))) :?> Error: Internal error. Please try again later elseif (in_array($p->error['code'], array(11, -2, -3))) :?> Error: Cannot connect to Image URL elseif (in_array($p->error['code'], array(-1))) :?> Error: Flickr: =$p->error['message']?> elseif (in_array($p->error['code'], array(12))) :?> Error: You have entered is not a supported image type. Please try again else: ?> //=$p->error['message']?> endif; ?>
endif; ?>
