I might misunderstand this.
This works to get unique colors:
convert logo: -format "%k" info:
232
But this returns nothing:
convert logo: -format "%[unique]" info:

%unique is a unique filename, not the unique number of colors in the image.

%[unique] is not defined on the offical
Formating Percent Escapes page. As such I have absolutely no idea what it does!
%k on the other hand is defined on that page.
%k number of unique colors
Taking the programmers axiom :
Use the source Luke!
Searching source "unique" is a special image meta-data properity, that can be associated with an image, like many of the other properities shown in an identify output. Searching further, it appears to be a properity associated with "delegates"...
Got it from the "delegates.xml" file... It represents --
unique temporary filename for delegates
What use that is, is another matter!
