Planning on adding duplicate checking!
Ok... so I haven't had to handle this much traffic before, bear with me!
Design is fantastic. I actually will try using this site!

Hm, it is dismissing white (and black?) while I find those colours often very important to a site's look. Think Facebook, it is white and blue.
Including the colour outside the primary content area wouldn't be very accurate, since this is dependent on the viewer's screen resolution. For example, viewing Facebook on a widescreen display yields significantly more white than on a non-widescreen display.
Design Tip: Never Use Black

I'm keeping white/black and greytones out for now. White/light greys are especially hard... how would you differentiate between the content and the background?
It's definitely on the list of things to address.

Any chance of open sourcing? I'm interested in the algorithm. Is it quantizing to a more limited bit depth and taking say, top 5ish via mode?
I do plan on open sourcing. A little self conscious about the code as I'm more of a designer, but watch this space.
At the moment it's quantizing down to 40 colours with a tree depth of 4, I then pull the top 12.

A border?
This is like an interactive version of www.brandcolors.net. Very nice!
Is it ignore background-colors? Firefox is primarily green on this but of course the large button is there but the overall theme of the site seems to be that shade of blue

seems to be getting the mobile version of our site (http://webcolourdata.com/profile/4170). It's done on viewport width, not UA sniffing.
This is great! Are you planning on exposing an API? Would love to add this to https://starthq.com
Eventually! Good to know that someone would use it.
It seem to pick up gradients too: http://webcolourdata.com/profile/816
Very neat. Bookmarked it! Now keep it up and going. Github link?
