Color thief reimplementation for Node.js.
The original color thief project relies on the browser Canvas object to extract pixels from images. It does not work well in Node.js environment because the Canvas object does not natively exist in Node.js.
This project, however, relies on the node-canvas library to simulate a Canvas object in Node.js environment. The source code has also been rewritten in ES6 fashion with support for promise.
