Analyzing Clutter in Color

I was recently assigned a task – as part of my graduate studies – to analyze the clutter in colors in any interface. It was sort of a freestyle task: everyone should come up with his own approach. I chose to analyze the color feature congestion in the feature space[1]. The analysis follows the dominant color approach, in which a score is given for the variability in colors in images. Based on that, each image is given a score. The higher the score, the more the image is congested. Lower score means the dominant colors are close to each others, which implies that the feature space is not congested, i.e. uncluttered.
