How to find average color of an image with ImageMagick?

Question

How do I get the RGB values of the average color of an image, where each value is 0-255? Such as \"255,255,255\"

I run this command to shrink the image down and it

Answer 1

You can do the following to parse out just the comma-separated RGB values. It also will not return text color names.

convert cat.png -resize 1x1\! \
    -format "%[fx:int(255*r+.5)],%[fx:int(255*g+.5)],%[fx:int(255*b+.5)]" info:-

Output format should look like:

155,51,127

This should work in ImageMagick 6.3.9.1+
