Key Terminology & Definitions
K-Means Color Clustering
An unsupervised machine learning algorithm that groups pixel color vectors into $K$ distinct centroid clusters to find mathematically prominent colors.
Perceptual Color Space (CIELAB)
Calculating color distance in CIELAB ensures clusters reflect colors as perceived by human vision rather than raw digital RGB light intensity.
