> We did a hacky image analysis with ImageMagick to survey favicon colors. Here is the dominant color breakdown across our favicons. This isn’t very accurate, unfortunately. I suspect that many multicolored favicons are getting lumped in with purple.

Writing or reviewing a sentence like this should make you reconsider. Either do the right analysis or remove this from your article. But when you say your analysis is probably wrong and the results look weird, then why publish as is?

Imperfect analysis with known limitations still has value. We can build upon it and improve. I'd rather have it out in the open than omitted.
