<div>
there are 2 alternatives in the post:<br />
1. using CIE Lab color space<br />
2. RGB to HSL conversion (simpler)

Thank you very much. &nbsp;Great answer.

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I'm looking for a way to best match a color to a list of colors for closest match weighted to the visible eye. <br />
<br />
Weight might be something like:<br />
30% Red, 60% Green, 10% Blue<br />
<br />
Would it be better for me to match on RGB or HSL? &nbsp;What are the best methods you know of to accomplish this task?

Closest Color Matching Algorithm

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications
