Comparison of UIColor

Question

Given UIColor, I need to determine if it is “light” or “dark”. If I could access the hexadecimal value of the color, I could just check if it was greater or less than a certain threshold hexadecimal number, but there seems to be no way to do this. Here? Or is there another way to check the brightness value of UIColor?

Answer 1

You can set this category for extension UIColorfor HSV / HSB rank and compare[aUIColor brightness]

Edit:
I found the same code in some project hosted on github , outlined its essence: https://gist.github.com/1252197

    CGFloat rgb_min, rgb_max;
    rgb_min = MIN3(rgb.r, rgb.g, rgb.b);
    rgb_max = MAX3(rgb.r, rgb.g, rgb.b);

    hsv.val = rgb_max;
    if (hsv.val == 0) {
        hsv.hue = hsv.sat = 0;
        return hsv;
    }

    rgb.r /= hsv.val;

Answer 2

[UIColor CGColor]will provide you with CGColorRef, from there you can make CGColorGetComponents to get the individual components. Getting the brightness value depends on your definition of brightness. Getting the average value of the components (in the case of the RGB color space) may be a good start.

Answer 3

UIColor ( CGColorRef) RGB. , , , Hue/Saturation/Brightness. , .

Answer 4

( ) UIColor ( ) , get hexStringFromColor: , . UIColor : .
