Adaptive Backgrounds โ Extract dominant colours from images

Replies
@SoleneMa & @bengold - I saw a few examples of code to do this (and have used them myself) whilst developing ColourColor. I'll dig them out and get back to you.
EDIT: here's a solution by the guys at Panic. It's for Mac (based on the coloured cells in iTunes 11), but can easily be converted to iOS. If I find the other examples then I'll let you know.

This is awesome! Reminds me of what Pinterest does as thumbs are loading:

If anyone's interested, I converted this lib a while back so it didn't depend on jQuery:

I could see this being very useful for theme generators, or dynamically generating per-article themes based on dominant header image colors.
Tweet at me or file an issue on github if you have any questions. Cheers all.
