    Finds a suitable background color to the artwork of the current Spotify playback and sets it to a LED-strip using a Raspberry Pi

  • As I already have seen in the comments, someone linked my GitHub repo https://github.com/davidkrantz/Colorfy where I gave this a go. In short, it analyzes the album artwork and computes a suitable background color, which was more or less the same as Spotify set in about 80 % of the cases at the time. The program uses k-means clustering to find k distinct colors in the artwork and then computes a colorfulness index as defined by Hasler and Süsstrunk (2003) https://infoscience.epfl.ch/record/33994/files/HaslerS03.pdf for each of the colors. The color with the highest index is then set to be the optimal background color.
