Find a colour that is resembles based on an array of colours

[lonelydatum]

Say I have the colour "red" and an array of colours ["black", "white", "burgundy"]. Is it possible to do this:

const resembles = chroma.resembles("red", ["black", "white", "burgundy"] ) // resembles === "burgundy"

Isn't that just

function closest(needle, haystack) {
  return haystack
  .map((straw) => [chroma.distance(needle, straw), straw]) // become [distance, color]
  .sort((a, b) => a[0]-b[0]))[0][1] // pick first (closest), pick the color part ([1])
}

Will give it a try and report back. Thank you @Artoria2e5
