It accepts either a file path or a file-like object and uses the median cut algorithm to cluster similar colors, returning RGB tuples. The module offers a quality parameter to trade off between accuracy and speed\u2014higher quality values produce more precise results but take longer to compute.\n\nThe package has no external runtime dependencies and installs as a pure Python wheel. However, it is no longer actively maintained; the last release was in 2017 and development has effectively stopped. It remains functional for straightforward color extraction tasks but receives no updates for compatibility with newer Python versions or image formats.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need basic color extraction and can tolerate an unmaintained package. The module is lightweight, dependency-free, and works for its stated purpose. Install only if the 0.2.1 release meets your requirements without needing updates\u2014do not rely on it for production systems requiring ongoing support or Python 3.x compatibility guarantees."},"id":"colorthief","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/colorthief","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/colorthief.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/colorthief/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2017-02-09","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"colorthief","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A module for grabbing the color palette from an image."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":444712,"position":6620,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.1"}
