We are building a sports application and would like to incorporate team colors in various portions of the app.

Now each team can be represented using several different colors.

What I would like to do is to perform a check to verify whether the two team colors are within a certain range of each other, so that I do not display two similar colors.

So, if team 1's primary team color has a value of rgb(255,0,0) (or #FF0000), and team 2's primary color is similar, say rgb(250,0,0), then we would choose a different color for one of the teams.

If possible, what approach could I take to perform the check?

Thanks

Here is a theoretical explanation

And the algo in C:

typedef struct {

    unsigned char r, g, b;

} RGB;



double ColourDistance(RGB e1, RGB e2)

{

    long rmean = ( (long)e1.r + (long)e2.r ) / 2;

    long r = (long)e1.r - (long)e2.r;

    long g = (long)e1.g - (long)e2.g;

    long b = (long)e1.b - (long)e2.b;

    return sqrt((((512+rmean)*r*r)>>8) + 4*g*g + (((767-rmean)*b*b)>>8));

}
