When creating an ambience from a picture, sometimes the ambience colour scheme appears to me totally random. How exactly does the ambience pick its colour?

It seems that the Color scheme for the ambience depends on the Color which is dominant in the Picture. if you want to have a particular Color for the scheme you have to make this Color a bit dominant in the Picture with the cannel mixer of photoshop or some similar Software. i tried it with a b/w Picture and wanted the Color scheme to be green. this would look like this (otherwise the ambience Color scheme would be orange in the original b/w Picture because the red tones overweight): https://www.dropbox.com/s/zmp9dt0rgu0l0gu/ambience-nyc5.jpg

It analyses the picture and based on the used colours and with the help of some 'secret' algorithm (which Jolla fine tunes since a while), it chooses the colours for the main and secondary colour. So it should not 'just' be random.

I created a ambiance from a mainly black and white picture... editing the image and changing the color of pixel 539,962 actually changes the ambiance color.

Ambience backend picks the dominant color from the image. The exact algorithm is all the time tuned and balanced for better visual effect and legibility.
