I'm trying to port the following Java snippet to Scala. It takes a list of MyColor objects and merges all of the ones that are within a delta of each other. It seems like a problem that could be solved elegantly using some of Scala's functional bits. Any tips?

List<MyColor> mergedColors = ...;
MyColor lastColor = null;
for(Color aColor : lotsOfColors) {
  if(lastColor != null) {
    if(lastColor.diff(aColor) < delta) {
      lastColor.merge(aColor);
      continue;
    }
  }
  lastColor = aColor;
  mergedColors.add(aColor);
}
