您需要将任何RGB颜色转换为Lab颜色空间，以便能够以人类看到它们的方式进行比较。否则你会得到RGB颜色“匹配”在一些非常奇怪的方式。

关于颜色差异的维基百科链接向您介绍了多年来定义的各种Lab颜色空间差异算法。最简单的方法是检查两种实验室颜色的欧几里得距离，可以工作，但有一些缺陷。

在OpenIMAJ项目中有一个更复杂的CIEDE2000算法的Java实现。提供你的两组Lab颜色，它会给你一个距离值。

如果你有两个颜色对象c1和c2，你可以比较c1和c2的每个RGB值。

int diffRed   = Math.abs(c1.getRed()   - c2.getRed());
int diffGreen = Math.abs(c1.getGreen() - c2.getGreen());
int diffBlue  = Math.abs(c1.getBlue()  - c2.getBlue());

你可以将这些值除以饱和度的差异(255)，你就会得到两者之间的差异。

float pctDiffRed   = (float)diffRed   / 255;
float pctDiffGreen = (float)diffGreen / 255;
float pctDiffBlue   = (float)diffBlue  / 255;

之后你就可以找到平均色差的百分比。

(pctDiffRed + pctDiffGreen + pctDiffBlue) / 3 * 100

这就得到了c和c之间的百分比差。

比较颜色的唯一“正确”方法是在CIELab或CIELuv中使用delta。

但对于很多应用，我认为这是一个足够好的近似:

子弹会= 3 * | diana | + 4个数2 + 3 * * |人物dG |专题| dB专题|

我认为在比较颜色时，加权曼哈顿距离更有意义。记住，颜色原色只存在于我们的大脑中。它们没有任何物理意义。CIELab和CIELuv是根据我们对颜色的感知建立的统计模型。

对于快速和肮脏，你可以做到

import java.awt.Color;
private Color dropPrecision(Color c,int threshold){
    return new Color((c.getRed()/threshold),
                     (c.getGreen()/threshold),
                     (c.getBlue()/threshold));
}
public boolean inThreshold(Color _1,Color _2,int threshold){
    return dropPrecision(_1,threshold)==dropPrecision(_2,threshold);
}

利用整数除法对颜色进行量化。

The best way is deltaE. DeltaE is a number that shows the difference of the colors. If deltae < 1 then the difference can't recognize by human eyes. I wrote a code in canvas and js for converting rgb to lab and then calculating delta e. On this example the code is recognising pixels which have different color with a base color that I saved as LAB1. and then if it is different makes those pixels red. You can increase or reduce the sensitivity of the color difference with increae or decrease the acceptable range of delta e. In this example I assigned 10 for deltaE in the line that I wrote (deltae <= 10):

<script>   
  var constants = {
    canvasWidth: 700, // In pixels.
    canvasHeight: 600, // In pixels.
    colorMap: new Array() 
          };

通过人类感知来比较两种颜色的最佳方法之一是CIE76。这个差值叫做e。当小于1时，人眼无法识别差异。

有一个很棒的颜色工具类ColorUtils(代码如下)，它包括CIE76比较方法。作者是苏黎世大学的丹尼尔·斯特雷贝尔。

从ColorUtils.class我使用的方法:

static double colorDifference(int r1, int g1, int b1, int r2, int g2, int b2)

r1,g1,b1 -第一种颜色的RGB值

r2,g2,b2 -您想比较的第二个颜色的RGB值

如果你使用Android，你可以得到这样的值:

r1 = Color.red(像素);

g1 = Color.green(像素);

b1 = Color.blue(像素);

    return (colorByteArr[0] << 24) + ((colorByteArr[1] & 0xFF) << 16)
