Nice! I love using high quality images of art for some of my personal projects. Might built something similar with these like I did for the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam[1].

Very cool. How are you extracting the colors from the image? Trying to do something similar but without yielding anything I'm happy with

Thanks! Some of the artworks have the colors as part of their metadata, so I directly use those.

For a different project I’m looking in into using k-means to determine the dominant colors.

Yeah, I have a similar-ish project that I should see about about adding these images to.[1] Will have to see if they have a nice API.
