at 1st guess ... it is "weighted green" ... a normalized
(30.6%RED + 60.1%GREEN + 11.7%BLUE) ...
... and I agree with weighted green being one of the best methods for
evaluating the "lightness" of color ... however, because for "white" and
"black", when R=G=B, I have to wonder how useful "weighted green" is for
evaluating "how many white pixels" & "how many black pixels"(???)
(... by no means a criticism, and I thusfar like Ed's implimentation ...
but I believe how lightness is calculated is important to properly
evaluating Wp & Bp ...)
