   I'm not sure I understand how finding the range of a particular color channel variation that exists in a picture is an accurate way to determine it's prominance in the picture.
   
   What I mean is: If you are extracting a color pallette from a picture do you really want the colors with the widest range of values more than the colors with the highest accumulative value? Let's say you have a picture with 10k pixels, and 9,999 of them have 0 value for the red channel, but 1 pixel has the red channel maxed out. The result of a range based algorithm is that red will likely have the widest range even though most of the pixels have none at all.
   
   Disclaimer: I'm retarded and don't really know what I'm talking about. It just seems like looking for accumulative totals is a better indicator.

     @niclas in my case use the most prominent colors in the image to generate a gradient to use as background in a slideshow.

     Sounds like one of those questions with the superb (sarcasm) answer; It Depends.... on what you are trying to do.
