Word Color

Word Color is a windows program that uses Google Image Search to determine the color of a word or string of words. It goes out there, retrieves the top 9 images and loops through all pixels, calculating the average hue, which is later converted to a color.

Using only the hue ensures that we don't end up with the kind of gray/brown that we all used to get as kids after mixing all available colors in the hope to get the utter best color.

As you can see, the average color for sea is... blue. Money is green, as to be expected. Please, download the program and play around. If you find anything interesting, leave it as a comment. If you note the resulting color in the text of the comment as #RGB, the system will automatically show the right color.

Money
by Douwe Osinga
The color of money is #49BF40

Funny idea!
by Olivier Travers
Wow, that's fun:

- blood is red: #BF5340
- love is dark pink: #BF406A
- grass is green: #58BF40
- so are trees: #40BF52
- the sky is blue: #4074BF

But tuning out grey is a problem for clouds (proggy says they're blue), war or death.

RGB is not hex
by ben
hexidecimal color code for HTML and RGB are not the same thing. RGB would say something like: Red=215 Blue=15 Green=78, or something like that. It would be a good idea to change that ASAP.

All searches fail for me :-(
by Isaac Eiland-Hall
I'm sorry to report that all searches seem to fail for me as well.

Windows XP, IE7 is installed, but my default browser is Firefox 2.

I've tried a number of common words, including the word "Sea" that's there when you start the program.

It sounds like a really cool idea! Hopefully it'll be an easy fix... :D :D :D

Maybe the query limit per day has been reached and the program just show this error because it has no images. A text field for specifying a different developer key could be useful. :)

Still having issues
by Amlethus
I tried to see if I could fix the error, but with no luck. If anyone else finds a fix for it, please do post it on here as myself and others would greatly appreciate it.

Updated
by escline
I've updated the code to work with the JavaScript that Google now returns in their image search results. I've sent Douwe links to download the updated files so he can update his links here, if he wants. If not, I just need a place to host the files as I don't want to max out the bandwidth on my own site.

I've tried to fix it but now google is using dynamic images. A lot of changes, I think, will be needed to make it work and it is difficult specially because the source is not commented out. T_T

A quick solution would be to use Yahoo Images instead of Google. Their system is now similar to what Google images was

division by zero

I imagine that the reason for the division by zero problem is that the google API only allows 1000 searches per day for each key. Since the program uses only one key, there is a max. It could be solved by making the user input a key (that they would get from google) and then using that key when connecting to google.

Color WEB project
by r voldemor
Color WEB Project is not working anymore. Compile is ok but a division by zero occurs in running. No images are taken from web.

Same for the exe demo.

Any solution ?

THanks

Division By Zero
by EzminJ
Hmm... as interesting as this program would seem to be, I'm getting the same division by zero bug. Seems you guys aren't too anxious to figure out what's wrong, and then you wonder why open source materials aren't more widespread and accepted. C'mon, folks.

I'd hate to be harsh to that hate to be harsh commentator :P), and I'm sure is a pleasant fellow human being, however this is a great way to provide yourself some distraction while you are in pursuit of greater self-control ... a good principled discipline, society can benefit from. What are your thoughts? :)

Problem Solved
by Zubair Amin
Just go to the source and change the error and make it nice location, you can put the google search also.
thanks.

Divide by nothing
by Kaye the Code-blind
@ Zubair Amin: How do you go to the source in this .exe file? Can change the .exe to .txt, but the code will appear in Gibberish (with some English). Where (and how) did you change the location, and what do you mean by "you can put the google search also"? And where/how did you do it?
... Gods, I wish I were a geek. :') Sorry for all the questions, but I am a big fan of this sort of applications and can't wait to use it.

Source code
by LPH
To get the source code, download the zip file with the source code in it.
