- # color [](https://travis-ci.org/Qix-/color)
- > JavaScript library for color conversion and manipulation with support for CSS color strings.
- ```js
- var color = Color("#7743CE");
- color.alpha(0.5).lighten(0.5);
- console.log(color.hslString()); // "hsla(262, 59%, 81%, 0.5)"
- ```
- ## Install
- ```console
- $ npm install color
- ```
- ## Usage
- ```js
- var Color = require("color")
- ```
- ### Setters
- ```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])
- ```
- Pass any valid CSS color string into `Color()` or a hash of values. Also load in color values with `rgb()`, `hsl()`, `hsv()`, `hwb()`, and `cmyk()`.
- ```js
- color.red(120)
- ```
- Set the values for individual channels with `alpha`, `red`, `green`, `blue`, `hue`, `saturation` (hsl), `saturationv` (hsv), `lightness`, `whiteness`, `blackness`, `cyan`, `magenta`, `yellow`, `black`
- ### Getters
- ```js
- color.rgb() // {r: 255, g: 255, b: 255}
- ```
- Get a hash of the rgb values with `rgb()`, similarly for `hsl()`, `hsv()`, and `cmyk()`
- ```js
- color.rgbArray() // [255, 255, 255]
- ```
- Get an array of the values with `rgbArray()`, `hslArray()`, `hsvArray()`, and `cmykArray()`.
- ```js
- color.red() // 255
- ```
- Get the value for an individual channel.
- ### CSS Strings
- ```js
- color.hslString() // "hsl(320, 50%, 100%)"
- ```
- Different CSS String formats for the color are on `hexString`, `rgbString`, `percentString`, `hslString`, `hwbString`, and `keyword` (undefined if it's not a keyword color). `"rgba"` and `"hsla"` are used if the current alpha value of the color isn't `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.light(); // true
- color.dark(); // 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.darken(0.5) // hsl(100, 50%, 50%) -> hsl(100, 50%, 25%)
- 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.greyscale() // #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.clearer(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).greyscale().lighten(0.6)
- ```
- ### Clone
- You can can create a copy of an existing color object using `clone()`:
- ```js
- color.clone() // -> New color object
- ```
- And more to come...
- ## Propers
- The API was inspired by [color-js](https://github.com/brehaut/color-js). Manipulation functions by CSS tools like Sass, LESS, and Stylus.
