Color Picker based on Flickr Tags

It's February 2005, and Greg Minshall might say if you want to get rid of your cat, name it "Tags".

But Krazydad's "Colr Pickr" is an especially creative use of tagged data, building a color picker out of Flickr-tagged images based on average color value. I'm not sure if Flickr feeds the color value automatically, or whether Krazydad has done a pre-scan, but if I find out I'll edit the post.

I first did a color picker many years ago when JavaScript first came out (It was called LiveScript before Netscape did the industry a disservice by renaming it JavaScript and confusing a generation of sales people who sold Java services as JavaScript and vice versa.)
