This paper describes a color image quantization scheme for presentation of color images using small number of colors. This scheme consists of three steps (1)partition of a color space into many regions, (2)merging of the regions until below prescribed number, (3)selection of a color representing the region. This paper also presents a scheme for presentation of color images using fixed set of colors. The representative colors are first classified according to their hue and are converted into the fixed set of colors according to their lightness.
