Feb 3, 2016 at 2:33 comment added Jeremy Fair point. I definitely focused more on the iterative algorithm here and didn't think too hard about the scoring at each step. I did consider trying the mean, but (embarrassingly) wasn't sure how it would impact the squared distance and never tested it out.
Feb 3, 2016 at 2:26 comment added N. Virgo +1 for taking a different approach to the problem. If I understood correctly, you could save some effort and gain some accuracy by just filling each rectangle with the average colour of the area it covers, since this minimises the squared distance from the original.
