The intensity of a colour is usually given by

I = 0.299R + 0.587G + 0.114B

so your cutoff should be based on that rather than a simple mean.

Hmmm ... where do these values come from? I changed the edge line using this
calculation and used a 50% Gray for the lighter edge and pitch black for a dark
edge (applied only to the first row, the rest is still #1F1F1F). IMHO it looks
AWFUL on most colors but black! Especially “Aqua” and “Brown” are horror.



Thoughts?

If you use the above mentioned calculation, you get a color value that represents a gray color with the same brightness than the color itself. I also feel that the 50% value (127) is not a good value. It should be maybe at 40, if we do use a calculation for detecting the edgecolor from the main color. But also this can look awful I think. There has to be reason why the edgecolors in the current LDConfig.ldr has the value they have.

Does anybody knows who has designed that edgecolors in the current LDConfig.ldr and what the rules are they designed this way?
