      yeah that part of the graph is completely useless to people who haven’t memorised the exact degrees of the scale, which is most people, even most artists

        The problem is that averaging hue makes no sense at all because hue is not a longest scale.

        If you take a red poster (0) and a blue poster (240), it averages to green. Or take red (0) and red (359), averaging to cyan (180).

              Not if there is a clear trend. If most movie posters are blue, three average will be blue.

              But i agree, it is useless if there is no clear trend.
