# Color Thief
by Lokesh Dhakar - [Blog](http://lokeshdhakar.com) - [Twitter](http://twitter.com/lokeshdhakar)
A script for grabbing the dominant color or a representative color palette from an image. Uses javascript and canvas.
[**See a Demo**](http://lokeshdhakar.com/projects/color-thief)
###Requirements
* jQuery
* quantize.js
###Usage
####Dominant Color
```js
getDominantColor(sourceImage)
```
returns {r: num, g: num, b: num}
Uses the median cut algorithm provided by quantize.js to cluster similar
colors and return the base color from the largest cluster.
####Palette
```js
createPalette(sourceImage, colorCount)
returns array[ {r: num, g: num, b: num}, {r: num, g: num, b: num}, ...]
```
Use the median cut algorithm provided by quantize.js to cluster similar
colors.
BUGGY: Function does not always return the requested amount of colors. It can be +/- 2.
