I am making a web interface to manage my hue lamps, but i am struggling when it comes to color handling..
The api of the lamps provides me the x and y coordinates from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIE_1931_color_space
But not the z value.
I think i must calculate the z from the brightness value or saturation value (0 to 255).
but i am terrible at colors, and math :p.
I tried to use thoses functions https://github.com/eikeon/hue-color-converter/blob/master/colorconverter.ts
But as i saw in the comments, thoses functions do not provide correct values...
Could someone help me here please ? ☺
ps : i need a javascript function.
Okay so i manage to make something working with the help of : How do I convert an RGB value to a XY value for the Phillips Hue Bulb
function xyBriToRgb(x, y, bri){
z = 1.0 - x - y;
Y = bri / 255.0; // Brightness of lamp
X = (Y / y) * x;
Z = (Y / y) * z;
r = X * 1.612 - Y * 0.203 - Z * 0.302;
g = -X * 0.509 + Y * 1.412 + Z * 0.066;
b = X * 0.026 - Y * 0.072 + Z * 0.962;
r = r <= 0.0031308 ? 12.92 * r : (1.0 + 0.055) * Math.pow(r, (1.0 / 2.4)) - 0.055;
g = g <= 0.0031308 ? 12.92 * g : (1.0 + 0.055) * Math.pow(g, (1.0 / 2.4)) - 0.055;
b = b <= 0.0031308 ? 12.92 * b : (1.0 + 0.055) * Math.pow(b, (1.0 / 2.4)) - 0.055;
maxValue = Math.max(r,g,b);
r /= maxValue;
g /= maxValue;
b /= maxValue;
r = r * 255; if (r < 0) { r = 255 };
g = g * 255; if (g < 0) { g = 255 };
b = b * 255; if (b < 0) { b = 255 };
return {
r :r,
g :g,
b :b
}
}
Its not very very precise, but it works quite well. If someone manage to make something better, please post it here, thanks.
I modified your script to return the rgb value in HEX Notation:
function xyBriToRgb(x, y, bri)
{
z = 1.0 - x - y;
Y = bri / 255.0; // Brightness of lamp
X = (Y / y) * x;
Z = (Y / y) * z;
r = X * 1.612 - Y * 0.203 - Z * 0.302;
g = -X * 0.509 + Y * 1.412 + Z * 0.066;
b = X * 0.026 - Y * 0.072 + Z * 0.962;
r = r <= 0.0031308 ? 12.92 * r : (1.0 + 0.055) * Math.pow(r, (1.0 / 2.4)) - 0.055;
g = g <= 0.0031308 ? 12.92 * g : (1.0 + 0.055) * Math.pow(g, (1.0 / 2.4)) - 0.055;
b = b <= 0.0031308 ? 12.92 * b : (1.0 + 0.055) * Math.pow(b, (1.0 / 2.4)) - 0.055;
maxValue = Math.max(r,g,b);
r /= maxValue;
g /= maxValue;
b /= maxValue;
r = r * 255; if (r < 0) { r = 255 };
g = g * 255; if (g < 0) { g = 255 };
b = b * 255; if (b < 0) { b = 255 };
r = Math.round(r).toString(16);
g = Math.round(g).toString(16);
b = Math.round(b).toString(16);
if (r.length < 2)
r="0"+r;
if (g.length < 2)
g="0"+g;
if (b.length < 2)
b="0"+r;
rgb = "#"+r+g+b;
return rgb;
}
alert(xyBriToRgb(0.5052,0.4151, 254));
And i made a PHP Version:
function xyBriToRgb($x,$y,$bri)
{
$z = 1.0 - $x - $y;
$Y = $bri / 255.0;
$X = ($Y / $y) * $x;
$Z = ($Y / $y) * $z;
$r = $X * 1.612 - $Y * 0.203 - $Z * 0.302;
$g = ($X * -1) * 0.509 + $Y * 1.412 + $Z * 0.066;
$b = $X * 0.026 - $Y * 0.072 + $Z * 0.962;
$r = $r <= 0.0031308 ? 12.92 * $r : (1.0 + 0.055) * pow($r, (1.0 / 2.4)) - 0.055;
$g = $g <= 0.0031308 ? 12.92 * $g : (1.0 + 0.055) * pow($g, (1.0 / 2.4)) - 0.055;
$b = $b <= 0.0031308 ? 12.92 * $b : (1.0 + 0.055) * pow($b, (1.0 / 2.4)) - 0.055;
$maxValue = max( $r , $g, $b );
$r = $r / $maxValue;
$g = $g / $maxValue;
$b = $b / $maxValue;
$r = $r * 255; if ($r < 0) $r = 255;
$g = $g * 255; if ($g < 0) $g = 255;
$b = $b * 255; if ($b < 0) $b = 255;
$r = dechex(round($r));
$g = dechex(round($g));
$b = dechex(round($b));
if (strlen($r) < 2) $r = "0" + $r;
if (strlen($g) < 2) $g = "0" + $g;
if (strlen($b) < 2) $b = "0" + $b;
return "#".$r.$g.$b;
}
print xyBriToRgb(0.5052,0.4151, 254);
Happy coding to ye all :-)
At the end it should probably be
r = Math.round(r * 255); if (r < 0) { r = 0; }
g = Math.round(g * 255); if (g < 0) { g = 0; }
b = Math.round(b * 255); if (b < 0) { b = 0; }
If r
,g
or b
is smaller than 0, shouldn't it be 0 instead of 255? The colors I tested make more sense that way.
Thanks for the formula though!
