How to calculate the average rgb color values of a bitmap

Question

In my C# (3.5) application I need to get the average color values for the red, green and blue channels of a bitmap. Preferably without using an external library. Can this be

Answer 1

This kind of thing will work but it may not be fast enough to be that useful.

public static Color GetDominantColor(Bitmap bmp)
{

       //Used for tally
       int r = 0;
       int g = 0;
       int b = 0;

     int total = 0;

     for (int x = 0; x < bmp.Width; x++)
     {
          for (int y = 0; y < bmp.Height; y++)
          {
               Color clr = bmp.GetPixel(x, y);

               r += clr.R;
               g += clr.G;
               b += clr.B;

               total++;
          }
     }

     //Calculate average
     r /= total;
     g /= total;
     b /= total;

     return Color.FromArgb(r, g, b);
}
