My index consists of metadata for a collection of 45 million objects, most of which are digital images. The executives have fallen in love with Google's color image search. Here's a search for "flower" with a red color filter:

I am interested in duplicating this. Can this group of fine people point me in the right direction? I don't want anyone to do it for me, just help me find software and/or algorithms that can extract the color information, then find a way to get Solr to index and search it.

When I took at look at the search results, it seems like the word "red" shows up in the image name, or description, or tag for every found image.

Are you sure Google is extracting color information? Or just being smart about color-specific keywords found in associated text?
