Identify Closest Match to a Color Given by a Hexadecimal String
Given a color as a hex string #rrggbb, find the closest match in the table of known (named) colors.
HexToCol(hexstr, method = "rgb", metric = "euclidean")
hexstr |
a color or a vector of colors specified as hexadecimal string of the form "#RRGGBB" or "#RRGGBBAA" |
method |
character string specifying the color space to be used. Can be "rgb" (default) or "hsv". |
metric |
character string specifying the metric to be used for calculating distances between the colors. Available options are "euclidean" (default) and "manhattan". Euclidean distances are root sum-of-squares of differences, and manhattan distances are the sum of absolute differences. |
Finds the color with the minimum squared distance in RGB space.
The colorname(s) of the closest match(es) (if more than one).
