# Paint Color Count is a color analysis MCP. AI Agent Connect

> Paint Color Count gives your AI client the ability to dissect color palettes. It calculates how many times specific hues appear, measures the complexity of your color choices, and identifies dominant colors. You can also verify that your hex or rgb codes are formatted correctly before you start a project.

## Description

If you work with digital art or design, you know that color consistency is everything. This MCP lets your AI agent act as a technical color analyst. Instead of guessing how many times you used a specific shade, you can ask your agent to run a count on your palette. It handles the math for you, whether you need to find the most frequent hues or check how diverse your color selection actually is. You can use it to validate color formats like hex or rgb to ensure your data is clean before you move into production. It's a practical way to get a technical breakdown of any color set you're working with.

## Tools

### check_palette_integrity
This tool validates that your color formats are correct. It checks if your hex or rgb values are properly structured.

### count_palette_colors
This tool counts the occurrences of colors in a palette. It tells you exactly how many times each color appears in your set.

### find_dominant_colors
This tool identifies the most frequent colors in a group. It highlights the primary hues that define your palette.

### analyze_color_diversity
This tool calculates the complexity of a palette. It provides a score based on how varied your color choices are.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
How many times does each color appear in this palette: #ff0000,#00ff00,#ff0000,#0000ff?
```

## How It Works

You connect the MCP to your client and start asking questions about your color data.

1. Connect the MCP to your preferred client like Claude or Cursor via Vinkius.
2. Provide a list of colors in hex or rgb format to your agent.
3. Ask the agent to count, analyze, or find specific color data.
4. The agent executes the corresponding tool to process your request.
5. Receive the calculated results directly in your chat interface.
