Hm, it is dismissing white (and black?) while I find those colours often very important to a site's look. Think Facebook, it is white and blue.

Including the colour outside the primary content area wouldn't be very accurate, since this is dependent on the viewer's screen resolution. For example, viewing Facebook on a widescreen display yields significantly more white than on a non-widescreen display.
I'm keeping white/black and greytones out for now. White/light greys are especially hard... how would you differentiate between the content and the background?

It's definitely on the list of things to address.

Any chance of open sourcing? I'm interested in the algorithm. Is it quantizing to a more limited bit depth and taking say, top 5ish via mode?
I do plan on open sourcing. A little self conscious about the code as I'm more of a designer, but watch this space.

At the moment it's quantizing down to 40 colours with a tree depth of 4, I then pull the top 12.

A border?
