Question

Something like calculating the average value of rgb components and then decide whether to use black or white?

Do I have to convert RGB to HSV in first step ’cause RGB is not always what the human eyes see?

I’m using C#

Answer 1

what about that?

private static Color GetReadableForeColor(Color c)
{
    return (((c.R + c.B + c.G) / 3) > 128) ? Color.Black : Color.White;
}
