Colorizing

[testperson]

Hi,

I'm a bit lost. I have a bunch of pictures with white numbers, surrounded by transparency.

I try to colorize these numbers with the HLS action.
The colors I try to get are #949400, #b4b4b4 and #8b8b8b
So I googled for the HLS values of these colors and for #949400 for example I found
Hue 60, Lightness -50 and Saturation 100
But using these values I get a different color: #ffff00
What do I do wrong?

Thank you in advance

I think you've found a bug, testperson.

As a workaround, you could tweak the Color balance:

• #949400 = R -107 | G -107 | B -255
• #8b8b8b = R -116 | G -116 | B -116
• #b4b4b4 = R   -75 | G   -75 | B   -75

Ah okay, thank you

#949400 = R -107 | G -107 | B -255

But how do I get Blue -255 if the intervall is just from -127 to 127 ?

And by the way how did you get these values? Because Google says 148, 148, 0 for #949400

You're right

I removed all ancillary chunks including the ICC profile embedded in tk.png with PngOptimizer and had Just Color Picker running while moving the sliders for R/G/B in XnView MP (Image → Adjust → Enhance colors…).
