Find the average of two colors

[Brendon Murphy]

You could do this:

Add an adjustment layer with 3 color controls as shown in the image.

Use the first two to pick the colors you want averaged. Add the following expression to the third, “Average” control:

firstColor = effect(“First color”)(“Color”);

secondColor = effect(“Second color”)(“Color”);

(firstColor+secondColor)/2;

Clicking into the average control won’t show you the actual values, so you may want to add a text layer in the comp with the following expression on “Source Text”.

avgColor = thisComp.layer(“Color check”).effect(“Average”)(“Color”);

red = avgColor[0];

blue = avgColor[1];

green = avgColor[2];

if(colorDepth ==8){

multiplier=255

};

if(colorDepth ==16){

multiplier=32768

};

if(colorDepth ==32){

multiplier=1

};

“Average color”+”\r”+red*multiplier+”\r”+blue*multiplier+”\r”+green*multiplier+”\r”;

Great! Thank you. I appreciate it.
