      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.
