Well, I thinks it's official. The color of that pic is ugly. I used PhotoShop's Filter > Blur > Average and got a similar result: RGB(143,157,94).

Blegh.

True, but this is because the blue has very low saturation, the yellow has high saturation, and there's some extra input from the green leaves in the image, which caused that slight skew towards green.

Scaling to 1x1 with cubic interpolation in the GIMP gave me RGB(147, 163, 103). Here's a screenshot:

Weird. Any interpolation method in Photoshop gave me the average RGB(143,157,94).

Is there no average in Gimp?

Forcing the image to 1x1 in the browser (Opera Next Latest), taking a screenshot, then pasting it into Paint.NET and eyedroppering it gets RGB(212,219,51), which is what it looks like when a cat vomits after eating too many dandelions.

Current stable GIMP doesn't consider gamma, so it's scaling results will not be correct.

So Canada looks like cat vomit?
