# color

> JavaScript library for immutable color conversion and manipulation with support for CSS color strings.

```js
var color = Color('#7743CE').alpha(0.5).lighten(0.5);
console.log(color.hsl().string());  // 'hsla(262, 59%, 81%, 0.5)'

console.log(color.cmyk().round().array());  // [ 16, 25, 0, 8, 0.5 ]

console.log(color.ansi256().object());  // { ansi256: 183, alpha: 0.5 }
```

## Install

```
$ npm install color
```

## Usage

```js
var Color = require('color');
```

### Constructors

```js
var color = Color('rgb(255, 255, 255)')
var color = Color({r: 255, g: 255, b: 255})
var color = Color.rgb(255, 255, 255)
var color = Color.rgb([255, 255, 255])
```

Set the values for individual channels with `alpha`, `red`, `green`, `blue`, `hue`, `saturationl` (hsl), `saturationv` (hsv), `lightness`, `whiteness`, `blackness`, `cyan`, `magenta`, `yellow`, `black`

String constructors are handled by [color-string](https://www.npmjs.com/package/color-string)

### Getters

```js
color.hsl();
```

Convert a color to a different space (`hsl()`, `cmyk()`, etc.).

```js
color.object(); // {r: 255, g: 255, b: 255}
```

Get a hash of the color value. Reflects the color's current model (see above).

```js
color.rgb().array()  // [255, 255, 255]
```

Get an array of the values with `array()`. Reflects the color's current model (see above).

```js
color.rgbNumber() // 16777215 (0xffffff)
```

Get the rgb number value.

```js
color.hex() // #ffffff
```

Get the hex value.

```js
color.red()       // 255
```

Get the value for an individual channel.

### CSS Strings

```js
color.hsl().string()  // 'hsl(320, 50%, 100%)'
```

Calling `.string()` with a number rounds the numbers to that decimal place. It defaults to 1.

### Luminosity

```js
color.luminosity();  // 0.412
```

The [WCAG luminosity](http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#relativeluminancedef) of the color. 0 is black, 1 is white.

```js
color.contrast(Color("blue"))  // 12
```

The [WCAG contrast ratio](http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#contrast-ratiodef) to another color, from 1 (same color) to 21 (contrast b/w white and black).

```js
color.isLight();  // true
color.isDark();   // false
```

Get whether the color is "light" or "dark", useful for deciding text color.

### Manipulation

```js
color.negate()         // rgb(0, 100, 255) -> rgb(255, 155, 0)

color.lighten(0.5)     // hsl(100, 50%, 50%) -> hsl(100, 50%, 75%)
color.lighten(0.5)     // hsl(100, 50%, 0)   -> hsl(100, 50%, 0)
color.darken(0.5)      // hsl(100, 50%, 50%) -> hsl(100, 50%, 25%)
color.darken(0.5)      // hsl(100, 50%, 0)   -> hsl(100, 50%, 0)

color.lightness(50)    // hsl(100, 50%, 10%) -> hsl(100, 50%, 50%)

color.saturate(0.5)    // hsl(100, 50%, 50%) -> hsl(100, 75%, 50%)
color.desaturate(0.5)  // hsl(100, 50%, 50%) -> hsl(100, 25%, 50%)
color.grayscale()      // #5CBF54 -> #969696

color.whiten(0.5)      // hwb(100, 50%, 50%) -> hwb(100, 75%, 50%)
color.blacken(0.5)     // hwb(100, 50%, 50%) -> hwb(100, 50%, 75%)

color.fade(0.5)     // rgba(10, 10, 10, 0.8) -> rgba(10, 10, 10, 0.4)
color.opaquer(0.5)     // rgba(10, 10, 10, 0.8) -> rgba(10, 10, 10, 1.0)

color.rotate(180)      // hsl(60, 20%, 20%) -> hsl(240, 20%, 20%)
color.rotate(-90)      // hsl(60, 20%, 20%) -> hsl(330, 20%, 20%)

color.mix(Color("yellow"))        // cyan -> rgb(128, 255, 128)
color.mix(Color("yellow"), 0.3)   // cyan -> rgb(77, 255, 179)

// chaining
color.green(100).grayscale().lighten(0.6)
```

## Propers

The API was inspired by [color-js](https://github.com/brehaut/color-js). Manipulation functions by CSS tools like Sass, LESS, and Stylus.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://bryan-guner.gitbook.io/my-docs/redux/repos/examples/real-world/node_modules/color.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
