iTunes 11-style color matching code for iOS

iTunes 11 Style Color Art Detection for iOS.

Port of ColorArt code from OS X to iOS.

Usage

UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"DSC_0062.jpg"];
SLColorArt *colorArt = [[SLColorArt alloc] initWithImage:image scaledSize: self.fadedImageView.frame.size];

self.view.backgroundColor = colorArt.backgroundColor;
self.fadedImageView.backgroundColor = colorArt.backgroundColor;

self.fadedImageView.image = colorArt.scaledImage;
self.headline.textColor = colorArt.primaryColor;
self.subHeadline.textColor = colorArt.secondaryColor;
self.text.textColor = colorArt.detailColor;

So, what's the story?

This morning, I saw a neat post on Panic's blog (http://www.panic.com/blog/2012/12/itunes-11-and-colors/) that showed an example of how to duplicate iTunes 11's cover art color matching algorithm. I thought it'd be worthwhile to make the code a bit more reusable, and...here we are!

I  — Aaron Brethorst / http://www.cocoacontrols.com — have extracted all of the interesting code into a reusable class whose usage should be fairly self-explanatory. Let me know if you have any questions.
