RGB Color search

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I have RGB color values stored in my index.

color: [
{
red: 50
green: 73
blue: 93
}]

I need to be able to find documents in the index that are the the closest
color to the RGB values in a request using Euclidean distance, what is the
best way to achieve this in ElasticSearch?

You could use function score query and provide calculation of distance as
script, maybe?

Hmmm. I love that use case.
Still wondering if color should be a specific type such as geo_point?

Anyhow, I would love to hear how you implement it.

Thanks, this seems like a good way to do it.

I'm trying to get a simple example of the script_score working, but it
seems like my syntax is wrong;

{
"query" : {
"query_string" : {
"query" : ":"
},
"script_score": {
"lang": "lang",
"script":"_score * 5"
}
}
}

Are there any examples anywhere?

Have a look at function score: Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic

It should help

URL is correct but the link I provided when you click on it is wrong.

There's an implementation of a colour distance algorithm here:
http://compuphase.com/cmetric.htm

I coded it up as a Lucene query some time ago (don't have the source to
hand currently) and results were OK but had some oddities.
I ended up thinking that a data-gathering exercise via Mechanical Turk or
similar might be a useful exercise to train a better model that accounts
for the quirks in human perception.

Cheers
Mark
