基于所有这些答案，我的简单结论是，对于大多数实际用例，您只需要:

brightness = 0.2*r + 0.7*g + 0.1*b 

当r,g,b值在0到255之间时，亮度范围也在0(=黑)到255(=白)之间。

可以对它进行微调，但通常没有必要。

下面是将sRGB图像转换为灰度的唯一正确算法，如在浏览器等中使用。

在计算内积之前，有必要对颜色空间应用伽玛函数的逆。然后你把函数应用到减少的值上。未能合并gamma函数可能导致高达20%的误差。

对于典型的计算机，颜色空间是sRGB。sRGB的正确数字约为。0.21 0.72 0.07。sRGB的Gamma是一个复合函数，近似取幂1/(2.2)。这是c++的全部内容。

// sRGB luminance(Y) values
const double rY = 0.212655;
const double gY = 0.715158;
const double bY = 0.072187;

// Inverse of sRGB "gamma" function. (approx 2.2)
double inv_gam_sRGB(int ic) {
    double c = ic/255.0;
    if ( c <= 0.04045 )
        return c/12.92;
    else 
        return pow(((c+0.055)/(1.055)),2.4);
}

// sRGB "gamma" function (approx 2.2)
int gam_sRGB(double v) {
    if(v<=0.0031308)
      v *= 12.92;
    else 
      v = 1.055*pow(v,1.0/2.4)-0.055;
    return int(v*255+0.5); // This is correct in C++. Other languages may not
                           // require +0.5
}

// GRAY VALUE ("brightness")
int gray(int r, int g, int b) {
    return gam_sRGB(
            rY*inv_gam_sRGB(r) +
            gY*inv_gam_sRGB(g) +
            bY*inv_gam_sRGB(b)
    );
}

HSV色彩空间应该做的把戏，看维基百科文章取决于你正在工作的语言，你可能会得到一个库转换。

H是色调，是颜色的数值(即红色，绿色…)

S是颜色的饱和度，即它有多“强烈”

V是颜色的亮度。

今天我用javascript解决了一个类似的任务。 我已经确定了这个getPerceivedLightness(rgb)函数的HEX rgb颜色。 利用Fairchild和Perrotta公式对Helmholtz-Kohlrausch效应进行了亮度校正。

The inverse-gamma formula by Jive Dadson needs to have the half-adjust removed when implemented in Javascript, i.e. the return from function gam_sRGB needs to be return int(v*255); not return int(v*255+.5); Half-adjust rounds up, and this can cause a value one too high on a R=G=B i.e. grey colour triad. Greyscale conversion on a R=G=B triad should produce a value equal to R; it's one proof that the formula is valid. See Nine Shades of Greyscale for the formula in action (without the half-adjust).

再加上其他人说的话:

所有这些方程在实践中都工作得很好，但如果你需要非常精确，你必须首先将颜色转换为线性颜色空间(应用逆图像-gamma)，对原色进行权重平均，如果你想显示颜色- 把亮度调回监控器伽马。

在深灰色中，忽略伽玛和正确伽玛之间的亮度差异高达20%。
