iOS Swift 3.0 (UIColor扩展):

func isLight() -> Bool
{
    if let components = self.cgColor.components, let firstComponentValue = components[0], let secondComponentValue = components[1], let thirdComponentValue = components[2] {
        let firstComponent = (firstComponentValue * 299)
        let secondComponent = (secondComponentValue * 587)
        let thirdComponent = (thirdComponentValue * 114)
        let brightness = (firstComponent + secondComponent + thirdComponent) / 1000

        if brightness < 0.5
        {
            return false
        }else{
            return true
        }
    }  

    print("Unable to grab components and determine brightness")
    return nil
}

这是一个非常有用的答案。谢谢!

我想分享一个SCSS版本:

@function is-color-light( $color ) {

  // Get the components of the specified color
  $red: red( $color );
  $green: green( $color );
  $blue: blue( $color );

  // Compute the perceptive luminance, keeping
  // in mind that the human eye favors green.
  $l: 1 - ( 0.299 * $red + 0.587 * $green + 0.114 * $blue ) / 255;
  @return ( $l < 0.5 );

}

现在弄清楚如何使用算法来自动创建菜单链接的悬停颜色。浅标题的悬停颜色较深，反之亦然。

一个Android版本，捕捉alpha以及。

(感谢@thomas-vos)

/**

@ColorInt
public static int contrastingColour(@ColorInt int colour) {
    // XXX https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1855884/determine-font-color-based-on-background-color

    // Counting the perceptive luminance - human eye favors green color...
    double a = 1 - (0.299 * Color.red(colour) + 0.587 * Color.green(colour) + 0.114 * Color.blue(colour)) / 255;
    int alpha = Color.alpha(colour);

    int d = 0; // bright colours - black font;
    if (a >= 0.5) {
        d = 255; // dark colours - white font
    }

    return Color.argb(alpha, d, d, d);
}

您可以在任何色相背景上有任何色相文本，并确保它是易读的。我一直都这么做。在Javascript中有一个关于可读的彩色文本的公式- STW* 正如它在那个链接上所说的那样，这个公式是逆伽马调整计算的变化，尽管IMHO更易于管理。 该链接右侧的菜单及其相关页面使用随机生成的颜色作为文本和背景，始终清晰可辨。所以，是的，显然这是可以做到的，没有问题。

颤振实现

Color contrastColor(Color color) {
  if (color == Colors.transparent || color.alpha < 50) {
    return Colors.black;
  }
  double luminance = (0.299 * color.red + 0.587 * color.green + 0.114 * color.blue) / 255;
  return luminance > 0.5 ? Colors.black : Colors.white;
}

我对Gacek回答的快速实现:

func contrastColor(color: UIColor) -> UIColor {
    var d = CGFloat(0)

    var r = CGFloat(0)
    var g = CGFloat(0)
    var b = CGFloat(0)
    var a = CGFloat(0)

    color.getRed(&r, green: &g, blue: &b, alpha: &a)

    // Counting the perceptive luminance - human eye favors green color...
    let luminance = 1 - ((0.299 * r) + (0.587 * g) + (0.114 * b))

    if luminance < 0.5 {
        d = CGFloat(0) // bright colors - black font
    } else {
        d = CGFloat(1) // dark colors - white font
    }

    return UIColor( red: d, green: d, blue: d, alpha: a)
}
