Color Difference
In color science, color difference or color distance is the separation between two colors. This metric allows quantified examination of a notion that formerly could only be described with adjectives. Quantification of these properties is of great importance to those whose work is color-critical. Common definitions make use of the Euclidean distance in a device-independent color space. Euclidean sRGB As most definitions of color difference are distances within a color space, the standard means of determining distances is the Euclidean distance. If one presently has an RGB (red, green, blue) tuple and wishes to find the color difference, computationally one of the easiest is to consider ''R'', ''G'', ''B'' linear dimensions defining the color space. \text = \sqrt. When the result should be computationally simple as well, it is often acceptable to remove the square root and simply use \text^2 = (R_2 - R_1)^2 + (G_2 - G_1)^2 + (B_2 - B_1)^2. This will work in cases when a s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Color Science
Color science is the scientific study of color including lighting and optics; measurement of light and color; the physiology, psychophysics, and modeling of color vision; and color reproduction.
