Google Image Search - Search for Images by Color

SUMMARY: Limit your image searches to photos and other pictures mostly containing a given color.

When searching for clip-art, photographs, and other images with Google Image Search, you may require pictures mostly containing a given color. Perhaps you need a red race car, a yellow chrysanthemum flower, or a green apple.

Instead of searching through dozens, hundreds, or perhaps thousands of results and manually looking for matching images, you can perform color-specific queries in one of several ways:
