I’m not really sure if I’m posting this in the right place but this thread _does_ seem to be the closest…

I am looking for software that can sort images by color.  
For example: I have a whole lot of small images (800x800) I would like to use those as “building stones” to make some sort of mosaic layout. I cannot just use “the usual mosaic software” because the (differently sized) tiles will be places manually.

It would help a whole lot if I had these images sorted by color. (even if sorted roughly)  
That way there would already be some sort of “color palette” to work with.

Does anyone know of any software or a specific way to do this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
