Color duplicates in reference atlas images

Hi everyone!

I am working on implementing atlas registration in ImageJ, and have used the color of the brain regions together with the color_hex_triplet from the structure ontology .csv file:

http://api.brain-map.org/api/v2/data/query.csv?criteria=model::Structure,rma::criteria,[ontology_id$eq1],rma::options[order$eq’structures.graph_order’][num_rows$eqall]

But specific, deep-level brain-regions (like CA1, CA1sp, CA2, CA2sp etc.) all use the same color (#FF5974).

The implementation of the ABA from the Scalable Brain Atlas (https://scalablebrainatlas.incf.org/mouse/ABA_v3) has a specific color for each subregion. Is there any way to obtain the same level of detail directly from the source?

All the best!

Hi Julian,

As far as I can tell, those SVG hex codes are unique to the website - I could be wrong, though.

I have found the SVG hex codes pretty useful for websites. But if you’re in ImageJ, can you just use the TIFF greyscale values instead? (‘id’ column).

Hi Yelgreb,

Huge thanks, I will give the greyscale values a try.

And I just found your forum post on this, so I guess you tackled this a while ago.

Best

Julian
