What I tried was to normalize the sample colors to percentages for rgb. Then I took the ratios of those colors and applied them to my source color to try and get a new color that had the same relationship. It didn't work at all. | |

Firstly, I'm much more comfortable working with RGB values 0-255. I see that in both of the OP's examples, we have the minimum values for the ND as 146 (57.3%) for the light color and 42 (16.5%) for the darker one. What I don't understand is, given a random new light color, how do you calculate the darker color with the same proportional difference? For example... (continued) | |
