how to get contrast from a color using js
function invertColor(hex, bw) {
if (hex.indexOf('#') === 0) {
hex = hex.slice(1);
}
// convert 3-digit hex to 6-digits.
if (hex.length === 3) {
hex = hex[0] + hex[0] + hex[1] + hex[1] + hex[2] + hex[2];
}
if (hex.length !== 6) {
throw new Error('Invalid HEX color.');
}
var r = parseInt(hex.slice(0, 2), 16),
g = parseInt(hex.slice(2, 4), 16),
b = parseInt(hex.slice(4, 6), 16);
if (bw) {
// http://stackoverflow.com/a/3943023/112731
return (r * 0.299 + g * 0.587 + b * 0.114) > 186
? '#000000'
: '#FFFFFF';
}
// invert color components
r = (255 - r).toString(16);
g = (255 - g).toString(16);
b = (255 - b).toString(16);
// pad each with zeros and return
return "#" + padZero(r) + padZero(g) + padZero(b);
}
