Getting Started
npm install --save colorthief
If you see an error during install, it is probably related to the system dependencies required by the 'node-canvas' dependency. Follow the steps posted on their repo: https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas/tree/v1.x#installation
How to use

var colorThief = new ColorThief();

In this example, we build an 8 color palette.
