Introducing Colortools

ColorTools is a Python library and command-line tool that can compute the dominant colors of an image. This enables several different ways to automatically sort the images, including sorting by hue.

While there are many approaches one can use to order the images in a collection (subject matter, season, date, composition, aspect ratio, etc.), some of my favorite photographers sort collections of images by color (or at least heavily factor color into the sequencing of their collections). I’ve always found the results of this approach logical and aesthetically pleasing. When viewing the collection at a distance, it conveys a calm sense of order to my eye.
