Need Function to check white/black shades of certain color


Recommended Posts

Hi there,

I need a function to check if certain color is a shade of white or black (dark) color, i searched on the forum, but didn't find anything that might help with my task.

Basicaly i need to update a label (it's background) with some color, and then set color for the control, but if the background color is dark, and the label text color dark as well (set by user), the text is almoust unreadable.

Here is an example of what i am using for now:

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

$Bk_Color = 0x000000 ;0xFFFFFF
$Color = 0x000000

$GUI = GUICreate("Test Script", 300, 200)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Some Text", 20, 40, 55, 14)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, $Bk_Color)

If $Bk_Color = 0x000000 Then $Color = 0xFFFFFF
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, $Color)


GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $GUI)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

So here i check if the back color is black, and if it does i just set the text color to white... but if the colors are little different, but still have black/white shade, text color not readable very well :).

Is there maybe a method to check color for «darknest/whitnest»? :)

Thanks.

You can use _ColorGetBlue/Red/Green and do a calculation with those values.

Big thanks! :)

Here is what i needed i think:

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
#include <Misc.au3>

Global $Bk_Color = 0xFFFFFF

$GUI = GUICreate("_ColorIsDarkShade Demo", 300, 200)

$Label = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Some Text", 20, 40, 55, 14)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, $Bk_Color)

$ColorSet_Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Set Color", 20, 80)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $GUI)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $ColorSet_Button
            $Bk_Color = _ChooseColor(2, $Bk_Color, 2, $GUI)
            
            GUICtrlSetBkColor($Label, $Bk_Color)
            GUICtrlSetColor($Label, 0x0)
            
            If _ColorIsDarkShade($Bk_Color) Then GUICtrlSetColor($Label, 0xFFFFFF)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func _ColorIsDarkShade($nColor)
    Local $i_Red = BitAND(BitShift($nColor, 16), 0xFF)
    Local $i_Green = BitAND(BitShift($nColor, 8), 0xFF)
    Local $i_Blue = BitAND($nColor, 0xFF)
    
    Local $iMidle_Color_Val = Int(765 / 2) ;765 is the total of 255 + 255 + 255
    
    Return ($i_Red + $i_Green + $i_Blue) < $iMidle_Color_Val
EndFunc

Edit: Changed the example.
