A system and method are described for automatically laying out photos within a photo story and automatically selecting colors for design elements based on the main colors in each of the photos. For example, a method according to one embodiment comprises: quantizing a photo used for the photo story, the photo initially having a predefined number of colors, wherein the quantizing reduces the number of colors to N colors; determining usage values for each of the N colors to determine the most used colors in the photo; and selecting a color for a photo story design element based on the usage values for each of the N colors.
