Color utility class for PHP 5.3 that allows for easy conversion between RGB, HSV, XYZ, and Lab colorspaces, as well as color comparison

PHP Color Utility Class

This class is intended to make it easier to convert between colorspaces, as well as compare one color to another.

Requirements

  • PHP 5.3 or greater (closure support is required)

Examples:

Initialize object (using hex notation is easier if you are familiar with CSS colors):

$color = new Color(0xFFFFFF);

Get distance from another color using the RGB colorspace:

$color1 = new Color(0xFFFFFF);
$color2 = new Color(0x888888);

$distance = $color1->getDistanceRgbFrom($color2);

Get closest matching color using the Lab(CIE) colorspace:

$color = new Color(0xFFFFFF);

$palette = array(
    0x000000,
    0x888888,
    0xAAAAAA
);

$matchIndex = $color->getClosestMatch($palette);
$matchColor = $palette[$matchIndex];
