alt Hacker News> I've built variants of this several times throughout my career.
Got any to share? A self-contained command-line tool to get a good palette from an image is something I’d have a use for.

Back in the late 1980s people thought about color quantization a lot because a lot of computers of the time had 16 or 256 colors you could choose out of a larger palette and if you chose well you could do pretty well with photographic images.
Fred's dominantcolor script for imagemagick might work for you:
