Let’s get serious about color

// Delta Phi Star perceptual lightness contrast
// See https://github.com/Myndex/deltaphistar
// The (difference between two Lstars each raised to phi) raised to (1/phi)
// Symmetric, does not matter which is foreground and which is background


import getColor from "../getColor.js";
import get from "../get.js";
import lab_d65 from "../spaces/lab-d65.js";

const phi = Math.pow(5, 0.5) * 0.5 + 0.5; // Math.phi can be used if Math.js

export default function contrastDeltaPhi (color1, color2) {
	color1 = getColor(color1);
	color2 = getColor(color2);

	let Lstr1 = get(color1, [lab_d65, "l"]);
	let Lstr2 = get(color2, [lab_d65, "l"]);

	let deltaPhiStar = Math.abs(Math.pow(Lstr1,phi) - Math.pow(Lstr2,phi));

	let contrast = Math.pow(deltaPhiStar, (1 / phi)) * Math.SQRT2 - 40;

	return (contrast < 7.5) ? 0.0 : contrast ;
};
