Override automatic ambience colour selection

Strange but I didn't find any posts where this has been explicitly requested yet.

I know one of 'the things' for ambience is that it picks its colour from the picture selected. But still, why not let the user pick a favourite colour? This post discusses on selecting the colour by tweaking config by hand, but why not make it easy enough - an alternative for automatic selection?

Background: This post explains colour selection a bit. At least for me the algorithm has failed several times resulting in totally unaesthetic and ugly ambience colours. Maybe, fiddling with colour channels could help but it'd be not a real solution in the large scale - to photoshop every few pictures to get the desired result.
