That was quick.
I'm not sure what this night be used for, but it's nice to have.
Maybe it can be good for creating a color overlay that matched the image.

Will test later.
There is the ofn-average-fill.py, that fills the selection with average color.
I thought it would be good way to create stained glass windows, using first the tesselate plug-in that was posted while ago to create voronoi or delauney pattern on top. But you have to switch between the selection layer and the image layer for each area fill.

Reinventing the wheel

There are pre-cursors, RobA script from 2009 My preference since I can load it as required using resources manager.
Ofnuts (2017) fill layer / selection straight off and the latest, very nice straight into FG.

If you select all the triangles then you can do it all in one go on a transparent layer with Fill Average Color script I made.

You just have to name your Source layer "Source" as it needs to grab colors (average colors) from that layer.

How have I missed that plug-in!!
I created first tesselate pattern, using voronoi. Fuzzy selection, threshold raised to 150, that way it selects the large areas without the dots. Ran the plug-in on empty layer. Pixels to grow = 0, Edit-Blend = no.
Again fuzzy selection on the voronoi layer, shrink by 1 pixel hit delete. Dots gone, me happyyyy!
Thank you, I will enjoy playing with this.

@nidhogg, Very nice. I had to play around some to get rid of those dots. My brush was too big. 2 px worked. Thank you.

Thanks Tim.

Yes, brush 2. hardness 100, 2px works well. Beware that you don't have some 2500x2500 grunge brush loaded when you hit ok.
