First you have to classify the image into the 3 categories. Then for each category, you have to mask the original image and measure the mean for pixels in that category. See my File Exchange for color classification demos: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/?term=authorid%3A31862

You can use those to classify images into a limited number of colors. Or try rgb2ind() or kmeans().

I have uploaded two images
my code
clc
clear all
close all
he = imread('3.jpg');
K1=[0 0 1];K2=[0 0.8 0];K3=[1 0 0];K4=[1 0 1];
lab_he=rgb2hsv(he);
ab=double(he);
nrows = size(ab,1);
ncols = size(ab,2);
ab = reshape(ab,nrows*ncols,3);
nColors = 4;
C=double(he(1:4,1:3));
[cluster_idx cluster_center] = kmeans(ab,nColors,'distance','sqEuclidean', ...
'Replicates',1,'start',C);
segmented_images = cell(1,3);pixel_labels = reshape(cluster_idx,nrows,ncols);
rgb_label = repmat(pixel_labels,[1 1 3]);
for k = 1:4
color = he;
color(rgb_label ~= k) = 0;
segmented_images{k} = color;
end
figure,imshow(segmented_images{1}), title('objects in cluster 1');
figure,imshow(segmented_images{2}), title('objects in cluster 2');
figure,imshow(segmented_images{3}), title('objects in cluster 3');
figure,imshow(segmented_images{4}), title('objects in cluster 3');
figure,imshow(he)
figure,imshow(ind2rgb(pixel_labels, [K2;K1;K3;K4]))
Mean1=mean(mean(segmented_images{1}(:)))
Mean2=mean(mean(segmented_images{2}(:)))
Mean3=mean(mean(segmented_images{3}(:)))
Mean4=mean(mean(segmented_images{4}(:)))
I like to colour water portion in red ,green portion in blue etc
so i made 4 clusters,wen i took the mean of each cluster for water portion the value is different for those two images,please tell how to compute the water colour which must be same for two images,omly ten it is poosible to assign red colour for it
