ok, here's what i wanna do
loop through a folder of images and compare the dominant color in each image against a range of hex codes so if a jpeg has 50 blue pixels, 25 black pixels and 25 red pixels i know it's predominantly blue
is something like this possible, anyone know where i should start?

I would begin by searching through the System.Drawing namespace at:

Also, take a look at:

ok, after much digging and reading (i'm admittely not very good at this programming thing, data access i'm fine at but stuff like this...urgh) i've found the following function but can anybody help me convert it into something that would run on a web page as picturebox is a windows forms control....please somebody help as this is driving me crazy
Function AverageRGB(ByRef P As PictureBox) As Long
Dim Count As Long
Dim Red As Long
Dim Green As Long
Dim Blue As Long
Dim Hexed As String
Dim X As Long
Dim Y As Long
Count = 0
For X = 0 To P.Width Step P.Width \ 32
For Y = 0 To P.Height Step P.Height \ 32
Hexed = Right("00000" & Hex(P.Point(X, Y)), 6)
Red = Red + CLng("&h" & Right(Hexed, 2))
Green = Green + CLng("&h" & Mid(Hexed, 3, 2))
Blue = Blue + CLng("&h" & Left(Hexed, 2))
Count = Count + 1
Next
Next
AverageRGB = RGB(Red \ Count, Green \ Count, Blue \ Count)End Function

Have you looked into System.Drawing.Image?

i'll post a link to the complete source here soon. i'm building a dynamic stock library project that gets color information and loads of other stuff including creating thumbnails on the fly etc . it should have a lot of useful gdi+ stuff in it as it's the one area of .net that i like the most :)
