Description
When reviewing files, it's often useful to separate line art or rough drawings from full color versions.
While not always accurate, counting the number of distinct colors in a file can help separate these out.
Please consider something like 'dimensions' for color properties of images, e.g.
- Maximum possible number of colors (e.g. 256 for GIF)
- number of distinct colors found in image (e.g. https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-most-reliable-algorithm-to-detect-if-an-RGB-Image-is-monochrome)
This is distinct from #268, but has similar motivations.

Research direction
No implementation files or tests are named. Start by locating the existing “dimensions” system tag/property and review related issue #268, then determine how image color metadata is represented and queried. Done would require an agreed scope for maximum and distinct colors or monochrome detection, with the resulting property usable during file review.
