I’m surprised the baseline to compare against is shrinking the image to one pixel, that seems extremely hacky and very dependent on what your image editor happens to do (and also seems quite wasteful… the rescaling operation must be doing a lot of extra pointless work keeping track of the position of pixels that are all ultimately going to be collapsed to one point).

So, making a library that provides an alternative is a great service to the world, haha.

An additional feature that might be nice: the most prominent colors seem like they might be a bad pick in some cases, if you want the important part of the image to stand out. Maybe a color that is the close (in the color space) to the edges of your image, but far away (in the color space) from the center of your image could be interesting?
