First of all Python is pretty simple to learn and get started with. But it is not a native web language, how ever you can build web apps with libraries such as Flask or Django. But since you don't have any experience with Python this could be a bit confusing and maybe too advanced and would require a learning period before you would be able to make this happen. You can just check out Youtube videos and see what you think, but I think JS would be the easier solution. Also not all webservers host Python apps, which might require you to pay more.  But if you are determined to create this in Python then go for it.  

If making this app is your main priority (regardless of language) I'd certainly suggest JS, HTML, CSS.
Here are some JS image processing libraries which should be capable of doing what you need: https://webkid.io/blog/image-processing-in-javascript/  
If you want Python you'll need Django or Flask (for the web app) and Pillow (Maze Found | Read the Docs for the image processing.  

I'll do a brief pseudo code run-down on how I would go about coding this app:

Code

img = Image.load("my_image.jpg")   //load image
colors = {}   //create a dictionary or smth similar to store a color and  how many pixels there are of this color eg: red:34

//iterate over all pixels in the image
for pixel in img:
   if pixel.color not in colors:  //if this color has not been stored in our colors dictionary add it to the dict and set its value to 1 since we found only one pixel with that color
       colors[pixel.color] = 1
   else:  //we already found pixels of this color so we increment the count by 1
       colors[pixel.color] += 1

// so now we have a list of all the colors in the image and a count for how many pixels there are with these colors respecitively.
// you would then sort this by the number of pixels, divide by total amount of pixels in the image to get the percentage
// if you want to then group the colors together by base color (say the pixels are all different colors but they are all shades of red), that would require some additional tricky, but shouldn't be that hard to do.

Hope you make a github and keep us updated, if you have any more questions feel free to DM.

Ye you can definately do this with Python the problem is just that Python isn't web native, so I'd probably be easier to just do it in angular or something similar. Unless you're into learning new stuff then go for it.

Sounds like a cool project, if you have any more questions hmu.
