You can use PHP to get an array of the color palette like so:

\n"; 
foreach($palette as $color) 
{ 
   echo " #$color\n"; 
} 
echo "\n";

Which gives you an array whose values are higher for how often that color has been used.

EDIT A commenter asked how to use this on all files in a directory, here it is:

    if ($handle = opendir('./path/to/images')) {

        while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
           $palette = colorPalette($file, 10, 4);
           echo "\n"; 
           foreach($palette as $color) { 
               echo "\n"; 
           } 
           echo "
 
#$color
\n";
        }
        closedir($handle);
    }

might not want to do this on too many files, but it's your server.

Alternatively if you'd rather use Javascript Lokesh's Color-Theif library does exactly what you're looking for.
