title: Material design API to extract background color
body: <p>Is there any API for Android that lets you extract the dominant background color to create a transparent overlay so I can write text on top of it. </p>
  
  <p>For example, if the dominant color of the 4 images is brownish, the overlay is transparent brown.</p>
  
  <p>I'm looking to create something like the following image to add information on top of the pictures. It was taken from Google play music. </p>

  <p>Thank you</p>
