- Pictaculous - Upload an image and get it's palatte. They provide a free api as well. At some point I might integrate this API into the color-palette cli.
- url2png - An API for taking screenshots of websites. Currently, I'm using phantomjs for taking screenshots, but combining the url2png and pictaculous APIs would be an alternative to using color-palette.
