Wordcolor

Found a nice little app on the Google Hacks website. It's called Word Color. What it does is 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.

Here's a screenshot of the result from inputting my name "Nathan" into word color, the colour it returned was #BF406A, not bad!



Check out the images it came up with.. pretty messed up! Why did searching for "Nathan" come up with 2 pictures of dudes holding fish?? Are people with the name Nathan naturally drawn to fishing? I know Im not.
