MaxColorDistance
is an option to specify the maximum distance allowed between colors.
Details
- Color distances are typically computed using ColorDistance . Most functions take a DistanceFunction option to specify a metric to be computed.
Examples

MaxColorDistance can specify the maximum allowed distance between colors:
Increase the maximum distance to match more colors to red:
Scope (1)
The default distance threshold might not always provide a match:
Use a higher MaxColorDistance to match a broader color range:
Properties & Relations (1)
In certain functions, setting MaxColorDistance is the same as giving a range in ColorsNear :
