I just started using an amazing script that makes the default "Ambiance" theme use that selected color.

More details can be found Here

I find this really amazing. But with my wallpaper being as shown below, the selection color, progress-bars color as after running the script are too dark (that can be seen in the following screenshot).

enter image description here

I've learnt that what is done is the average color from the wallpaper is selected and then its tint is used (which is always a darker tint).

So can I make this algorithm or whatever select a lighter tint of the average color??

Or can it be made to select the lightest color instead of the average color from the wallpaper??
