Claim 8:
9. A method comprising:
receiving, with a computing device, an image;
determining, with the computing device, a dominant color for the image by dividing the image into a plurality of pixel groups, analyzing pixels in each of the pixel groups at different sample rates based on how close the pixel group is to the center of the image with pixel groups closer to the center of the image having a higher sample rate, and determining the dominant color for the image based on the analyzed pixels in each of the pixel groups;
determining, with the computing device, a closest matching paint color for the dominant color for the image; and
displaying, with the computing device, at least one of a color name and a color code associated with the closest matching paint color for the dominant color of the image.
