Indeed.  We've discussed this before, with regards to IIRC, the Victorian room's
hardwood floor colors.

I'm thinking that there might be a way to automatically create a color map from
an image file using SDL.   Scan all the color values using eval pigment :)  and
then do a bit of math to see how the color values cluster.

Might need some iterative interaction.   Maybe plot a graph in 3d RGB space.

I might be (probably) reinventing someone's wheel here.

Maybe someone will get to this before I do.    So many experiments.  Need more
round tuits, coffee, and processor cores.
