I’ve published a new plugin that generates the average colour for any RGB or greyscale image. It sits at the end of the Colors menu: “Average colour” (after you install it properly of course).
I was surprised that average colour wasn’t a thing in GIMP. I did a lot of research and discovered the topic generated various solutions that were all challenging in one way or another.
Then I found a thread from 2014 where someone suggested a really simple manual approach. So I took that as inspiration and automated it.
You can read more about it and download it here:

Also, I wrote a follow-up blog post on the wider topic of the importance of using industry standards in GIMP, with average colour as an example:

The plug-in is available in the following languages:
Dutch (Nederlands)
English (English)
French (Français)
German (Deutsch)
Italian (Italiano)
Hungarian (Magyar)
Japanese (日本語)
Polish (Polski)
Portuguese (Português)
Spanish (Español)
Ukrainian (Українська)
Chinese (Simplified) (简体中文)
Chinese (Traditional) (繁體中文)
Feedback and suggestions welcome and encouraged!
