Example
Search a set of colors in an image.
<?php
// Start with an image and convert it to a palette-based image
$im = imagecreatefrompng('figures/imagecolorclosest.png');
imagetruecolortopalette($im, false, 255);
// Colors to search (RGB)
$colors = array(
array(254, 145, 154, 50),
array(153, 145, 188, 127),
array(153, 90, 145, 0),
array(255, 137, 92, 84)
);
// Loop through each color, find the closest color in the palette
// and return the search count, searched RGB, and the closest match RGB
foreach($colors as $id => $rgb)
{
$result = imagecolorclosestalpha($im, $rgb[0], $rgb[1], $rgb[2], $rgb[3]);
$result = imagecolorsforindex($im, $result);
$result = "({$result['red']}, {$result['green']}, {$result['blue']}, {$result['alpha']})";
echo "#$id: Searched ($rgb[0], $rgb[1], $rgb[2], $rgb[3]); Closest match: $result.\n";
}
imagedestroy($im);
?>
The output of the above example is similar to:
#0: Searched (254, 145, 154, 50); Closest match: (252, 150, 148, 0).
#1: Searched (153, 145, 188, 127); Closest match: (148, 150, 196, 0).
#2: Searched (153, 90, 145, 0); Closest match: (148, 90, 156, 0).
#3: Searched (255, 137, 92, 84); Closest match: (252, 150, 92, 0).
