      From: jmose@mapson.attglobal.net              >Is there an easy way to determine whether a uiObject's color is too dark       >to use font.color=black, and instead replace it with font.color=white?                     I hate to answer my own question, but I found an interesting post on another       newsgroup.              First, calculate the luminosity, which will have a range from 1 to 255.       Then use a white font if L < 127 and a black font if L >= 127. Seems to       work pretty well.              Luminosity = Red*0.3 + Green*0.59 + Blue*0.11              Somehow this is tied in with black&white TVs showing color programs! Here's       the link if anyone's interested.              Thanks,       Jim Moseley                     http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.excel.worksheet.       unctions/browse_thread/thread/2dee166ab1884522/0e45071dae108445?       nk=st&q=calculate+font+color+to+white+or+black&rnum=15&hl=en#0e45071dae108445              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
