#' @title Contrast Text Color #' @description Calculates the best contrast text color for a given background color. #' @param background A hex/named color value that represents the background. #' @param light_text A hex/named color value that represents the light text color. #' @param dark_text A hex/named color value that represents the dark text color. #' @param threshold A numeric value between 0 and 1 that is used to determine #' the luminance threshold of the background color for text color. #' @param method A character string that specifies the method for calculating #' the luminance. Three different methods are available: #' c("relative","perceived","perceived_2") #' @details #' This function aids in deciding the font color to print on a given background. #' The function is based on the example provided by teppo: #' https://stackoverflow.com/a/66669838/21019325. #' The different methods provided are based on the methods outlined in the #' StackOverflow thread: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/596216/formula-to-determine-perceived-brightness-of-rgb-color #' @return A character string that contains the best contrast text color. #' @examples #' contrast_text(c("#F2F2F2", "blue")) #' #' contrast_text(c("#F2F2F2", "blue"), method="relative") #' @export #' #' @importFrom grDevices col2rgb #' contrast_text <- function(background, light_text = 'white', dark_text = 'black', threshold = 0.5, method = "perceived_2") { if (method == "relative") { luminance <- c(c(.2126, .7152, .0722) %*% grDevices::col2rgb(background) / 255) } else if (method == "perceived") { luminance <- c(c(.299, .587, .114) %*% grDevices::col2rgb(background) / 255) } else if (method == "perceived_2") { luminance <- c(sqrt(colSums(( c(.299, .587, .114) * grDevices::col2rgb(background) ) ^ 2)) / 255) } ifelse( luminance < threshold, light_text, dark_text ) }
