some alternatives:

>>> i = Image.open(...)

>>> i.quantize(1).convert("RGB").getpixel((0, 0))
(208, 205, 202)

>>> import ImageStat
>>> s = ImageStat.Stat(i)
>>> s.mean
[208.32295432458699, 204.56614188532555, 202.44663427275671]

>>> i.resize((1, 1), Image.ANTIALIAS).getpixel((0,0))
(212, 212, 210)

(quantize will only return colors that actually exist, the other two
uses different ways to calculate some kind of average color)
