So simple - but so cool. What a great idea. My only "critique" would be to make the hex codes copy/paste ready in the results. I like the links to dribble, but I'd really like to just be able to quickly copy/paste the hex codes.

#32Hey compañero, that's very cool! I wonder how hard would it be to add the query to the URL so that I can paste it to someone? :-)

#33Nice 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!

#37I think maybe there's a little too much averaging going on? I get a lot of muted colors and way more browns than expected. For example, try "America" or "France" or "China" (I actually first tried "murica") and you might expect to see pretty standard bright colors, but it's not so much the case. The query where I got exactly what I expected was "fabulous".
