@tjntomas my current progress is below. However, this image below will still be mostly white; I assumed the “dominant” color here to be green, not white (even though white is altogether using up more space of the image). So while my script works, I am not 100% happy with it.

I’ll say this in case anybody else encounters the same issue: you need to install Color Thief manually, either by running the pip command in the docker container, or (if I understand the docs correctly) via a requirements.txt in the root directory og AppDaemon.
I did a manual installation and now I get another error:
File "/config/appdaemon/apps/colorthief/colorthief.py", line 4, in <module>
from colorthief import ColorThief
ImportError: cannot import name 'ColorThief' from partially initialized module 'colorthief' (most likely due to a circular import) (/config/appdaemon/apps/colorthief/colorthief.py)
How do you have your system setup? Appdaemon in Docker, as an add-on to Home Assistant, or in a docker container? The library install procedures are slightly different depending on the above.
While the solution I last posted here works okay, I am not happy with some colors; usually, if the associated cover image is mostly, let’s say blue, the lights will turn blue. However, in rare occasions, it will be a totally different color that is not even on the cover (or so little that you wouldn’t realize when looking at the cover), so you’d expect blue lights and they’ll turn purple… I have not been able to find the cause for this, as it only happens very seldomly.
Another issue is the saturation. When a cover is mostly white, my saturation attempt will work and set the lights to some color instead of white, as (if I understand correctly) most covers aren’t 100% white, but have some tint of color in them that just gets saturated through the appdaemon script. But I guess our eyes/minds “expect” different colors from the images we see than the script calculates. Just now a song started with a cover that looks to me like it is a very de-saturated shade of green - yet the lights turn to blue after being saturated to the declared value; I don’t see why what looks to be green turns blue when saturated more.
Since WLED allows a secondary color to be set (so some effects can be constructed from two different, manually defined colors), I’ll work on building a palette (works via ColorThief, then trying to use the two most dominant colors. I tried this a bit, but didn’t get it to work (while the palette will actually be built, it will have some colors I don’t see in the image at all, then again miss some essential colors that are definitely there).
