Filter by color

I was just searching the site for a new red wallpaper to go with my WinStyles theme and thought it would be nice if you could narrow the wallpapers not only by theme but color as well. I live on wincustomize.com!!!

yes, I've always wished that when a skin or wallpaper uploaded soemething, they could optionally check off one or more color attributes such that we could then search by color

How about by texture and depth too?

I've often thought this very thing too...not just for wallpaper but for all of the skins. Like maybe a check box a skin/wall author can put in for silvers/grays/blacks red/pinks/oranges or perhaps cool tones or warm tones. I dunno but it would make it nice when you are trying to search for something to match a theme you're making on your desktop and be able to search by color/tone etc... I know there are multi-colored skins/themes too so maybe a checkbox for multi? Ah well...just rambling and dreaming.

I guess you could just write a function server-side to scan the uploaded image on the pixel-level for R G and B values and then make the wallpaper searchable by the appropriate colour majority.
