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
color.hsl()
Convert a color to a different space (hsl(), cmyk(), etc.).
color.object() // {r: 255, g: 255, b: 255}
Get a hash of the color value. Reflects the color's current model (see above).
color.rgb().array() // [255, 255, 255]
Get an array of the values with array(). Reflects the color's current model (see above).
color.rgbNumber() // 16777215 (0xffffff)
Get the rgb number value.
color.hex() // #ffffff
Get the hex value. (NOTE: .hex() does not return alpha values; use .hexa() for an RGBA representation)
color.red() // 255
Get the value for an individual channel.
color.hsl().string() // 'hsl(320, 50%, 100%)'
Calling .string() with a number rounds the numbers to that decimal place. It defaults to 1.
color.luminosity(); // 0.412
The WCAG luminosity of the color. 0 is black, 1 is white.
color.contrast(Color("blue")) // 12
The WCAG contrast ratio to another color, from 1 (same color) to 21 (contrast b/w white and black).
color.isLight() // true
color.isDark() // false
Get whether the color is "light" or "dark", useful for deciding text color.
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)
