Now Easier to Filter Google Image Search Results by Color

A few weeks ago, I wrote how you could filter your Google Image search results by color. All you had to do was add a small string of code (&imgcolor=colorname) to the end of the results' URL and redo the search.

Now Google has made it even easier to filter images by color. After you search for your image, a drop down box will appear below your search term, next to the All Content drop down box. Click on a color, and your results will automatically be filtered by that color.

Find the Right Color in Google Image Search

You have probably used Google Image Search to help you find images on the Internet. Now, according to blog Google Operating System, you can filter your results by color.

Once you perform your image search, type &imgcolor=colorname at the end of the resulting URL, where colorname is a color of your choice. Then, redo your search.

So, if you want pictures of orange kitties, search "kitties" in Google Image Search. The URL of the results page is

http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=kitties&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2

Then, add &imgcolor=orange at the end of the URL and search again. You’ll receive 36,000 results – many fewer than that 2+ million of the original search.

Nice tip if you need a specific image matched to an existing color scheme.
