Each swatch is a cluster centre from the image itself, with the share of the canvas it covers. Select one to find other works near that colour.

Similar in palette

These works are close in colour only. The comparison comes from palette distance, so it knows nothing about subject, composition, or period — a portrait and a landscape can match exactly.
