How do you calculate contrast ratio?
Calculating a Contrast Ratio
Contrast ratios can range from 1 to 21 (commonly written 1:1 to 21:1). (L1 + 0.05) / (L2 + 0.05), whereby: L1 is the relative luminance of the lighter of the colors, and. L2 is the relative luminance of the darker of the colors.
How do you measure contrast in an image?
Contrast is defined as the difference between the highest and lowest intensity value of the image. So you can easily calculate it from the respective histogram. Example: If you have a plain white image, the lowest and highest value are both 255, thus the contrast is 255-255=0.
