A technique and system of representing a group of images, the technique includes determining the values of one or more dominant colors for the group of images and deriving a dominant color representation expressing the group of images in terms of one or more of said dominant color values. The inventive technique and system can be applied to any group of images, or image regions, including regions within image.
