[magick-users] Automagically determining font-color

[Mark]

Hello

 

I was wondering if anyone knows how to calculate a legible font-color,

once I've determined the mean color of the image (for a title bar).

 

I've experimented a bit with calculating the font color (white/black) for

when the title bar color is nearest a color in the 216 'safe' HTML color

table. But the result, though workable, to a degree, still leaves to be

desired, in that sometimes I really think the font color should be white

instead of black, and vice versa.

 

So, is there perhaps an algorithm out there I'm unaware of? Or a refined

lookup table of some sort.

 

Thanks,
