tool to measure font colour

Alan Bernard Hughes

Could anyone point me to a tool to measure the colour of letters in a digital font? I do not mean rgb or CMYK colour but the ratio of black and white areas. And are there any statistics available?

Thanks for the suggestions. I have a lot of study to do before I can post anything interesting.
Meanwhile, I have posted a very small result at the FontCreator forum:
