MATLAB: Color similarity matrix

colorcolor similarity metrictoolbox

I am quite new with MATLAB so my question may sound silly. I have 200 .jpg image files loaded in MATLAB. I would like to create a color similarity/dissimilarity matrix to see how much each image is similar or dissimilar compared with the others. How could I achieve it? Is there any toolbox that is specific for that?

You can first compare two images then extend the method to compare multiple images.
The comparison involves two steps :
1.) Feature detection and extraction
2.) Extracted feature comparison.
Now , there are several methods to detect and extract features. But , since you are specifying color comparison , one way could be by calculating the color histogram and then comparing the color histograms by the the built in functions available in MATLAB
