One thing that comes to mind is possibly converting each of the color triplets into HSV color space and indexing them based on Hue... if you are not interested in the saturation or brightness of the color, but rather whether its there or not. Though there is no standard for the conversion most seem to use the following for conversion:
V = max (r,g,b)
S = (max (r,g,b)) - min (r,g,b)/max (r,g,b)
H = depends on which of r,g,b is the maximum
where r,g,b are your 0 - 255 values.
just a thought... perhaps a CPAN module in the making eh?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
