HumanReadableColor

Calculates the closest color name with the help of hsl and rgv values of the color. CIE94 formula is used for the calculation matrix (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_difference#CIE94)

Usage

1. Import HumanReadableColor header file

#import "HumanReadableColor.h"

2. Initialize HumanReadableColor with a standard NSColor object.

NSColor *color = [NSColor colorWithCalibratedRed:0.5f green:0.5f blue:0.5f alpha:1.0f];
HumanReadableColor *hrc = [[HumanReadableColor alloc] initWithColor: color];

NSString *colorName = [hrc getColorName];

3. That's it! You can use the NSString wherever you want.
