Seems like the second approach could work. I suppose the first step in solving this puzzle is to figure out how "closeness" between two colours is measured. Can this be expressed as a single number, or would it have to be tridimensional (RGB)?

Not that I'm aware of. The closest thing I've seen is IM's photo mosaic feature whereby multiple images are arranged and combined to form a larger image.
Here are some examples of what I'm trying to achieve, but I want to do it with pixels instead of images: http://www.mazaika.com/mazaika.html

The processing would go like this: both the gray/purple/green image and "Rose:" are inputs. "Rose:" is the reference image which the gray/purple/green image tries to replicate by rearranging its own pixels. The output would be the gray/purple/green image with rearranged pixels to resemble "Rose:" as ...

The gray/purple/green image is user-provided. In this case it's just "Rose:" with its hex colours sorted alphabetically. But it could be anything else, really. The result should still be the closest possible approximation of Rose:

No, Dice's stated purpose is "To randomly rotate each successive square-sized patch in the image." I just want to assemble pixels as if they were parts of a mosaic to form an image. I've done this for sure using IM, but it was with maybe a dozen icon-sized images. Now I'd like to do it efficiently ...

I'm using the latest version of IM on Windows, but I know MacOS too. What you're describing is exactly what I mean: Shatter an image into pixels and mosaic those pixels into a different image. I'm not sure where to start with this and I assume that writing hundreds of 1px files on disk would be ...

Is it possible to break an image into discreet pixels and then reassemble those pixels to form a mosaic? The intended destination mosaic has identical dimensions, if that helps. Another way to put it is that I want to apply a color pallette to an image, but I want to use each color from the pallette ...
