Nice implementation - less is more!

What algorithm did you use for color extraction? I seem to getting colors with the correct hue, but too low saturation? (example: Ferrari)

You could also imagine to not show colors with very low saturation (ie. white/gray/blacks). I've previously used Colorific [1] which seems to address some of those things!

I'm also curious about the algorithm, since a search for "google" results in a palette that only features one color out of the company's primary-plus-green motif. Seems like backgrounds (white in the case of Google, black in the case of demotivational posters) are weighted a little too strongly, perhaps.
