imagecolorat
A way to get each time an answer :
<?php
function imagegetcolor($im, $r, $g, $b) {
$c=imagecolorexact($im, $r, $g, $b);
if ($c!=-1) return $c;
$c=imagecolorallocate($im, $r, $g, $b);
if ($c!=-1) return $c;
return imagecolorclosest($im, $r, $g, $b);
}
?>
If the *exact* color is found in the image, it will be returned. If we don't have the exact color, we try to allocate it. If we can't allocate it, we return the closest color in the image.
imagecolorclosest
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
imagecolorclosest — Get the index of the closest color to the specified color
Description
int imagecolorclosest
( resource $image
, int $red
, int $green
, int $blue
)
Returns the index of the color in the palette of the image which is "closest" to the specified RGB value.
The "distance" between the desired color and each color in the palette is calculated as if the RGB values represented points in three-dimensional space.
If you created the image from a file, only colors used in the image are resolved. Colors present only in the palette are not resolved.
Parameters
- image
-
An image resource, returned by one of the image creation functions, such as imagecreatetruecolor().
- red
-
Value of red component.
- green
-
Value of green component.
- blue
-
Value of blue component.
Return Values
Returns the index of the closest color, in the palette of the image, to the specified one
Examples
Example #1 Search for a set of colors in an image
<?php
// Start with an image and convert it to a palette-based image
$im = imagecreatefrompng('figures/imagecolorclosest.png');
imagetruecolortopalette($im, false, 255);
// Search colors (RGB)
$colors = array(
array(254, 145, 154),
array(153, 145, 188),
array(153, 90, 145),
array(255, 137, 92)
);
// Loop through each search and find the closest color in the palette.
// Return the search number, the search RGB and the converted RGB match
foreach($colors as $id => $rgb)
{
$result = imagecolorclosest($im, $rgb[0], $rgb[1], $rgb[2]);
$result = imagecolorsforindex($im, $result);
$result = "({$result['red']}, {$result['green']}, {$result['blue']})";
echo "#$id: Search ($rgb[0], $rgb[1], $rgb[2]); Closest match: $result.\n";
}
imagedestroy($im);
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
#0: Search (254, 145, 154); Closest match: (252, 150, 148). #1: Search (153, 145, 188); Closest match: (148, 150, 196). #2: Search (153, 90, 145); Closest match: (148, 90, 156). #3: Search (255, 137, 92); Closest match: (252, 150, 92).

This functuion is useful when you are dealing with previously present images like .png, .jpg, etc. You can use this function for writing a text on the image.
For me the function imagecolorallocate() was returning the -1 value. after lot of RnD and site search i found a function use of imagecolorclosest(). This solved my problem of writing the text on the image with customised color.
Actually previously it was writing on the image but the color was not distinct. It was using the same color as of that background image.
The following code segment was fine with me.
header ("Content-type: image/jpeg");
$im = imagecreatefromjpeg("BlankButton.jpg");
$white = imageColorClosest($im, 255,255,255);
// this is for TTF fonts
imagettftext ($im, 20, 0, 16, 30, $white, "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/luximb.ttf", "Vikrant");
//this is for notmal font
imagestring($im, 4, 0,0,"Korde", $white);
imagejpeg($im,"",150);
imagedestroy ($im);
