How is the "most common" color defined in contract to the dominant color?

The most common color is actually different than the dominant color as far as this script goes.

Color Thief uses the median cut algorithm provided by quantize.js to cluster similar colors and return the base color from the largest cluster. This becomes the dominant color.

I originally tried grabbing the most common color in the image but found that it mostly returned a muddy gray color when used with photos. This color didn't line up with I perceived as the dominant color in the photo.

I ended up taking out the method. :-/
