Get tints and shades of a CSS color and utility methods to work with colors in javascript.

Supports

[hexadecimal RGB/A notation]: #RGB #RRGGBB #RGBA #RRGGBBAA
[hex value] : 0xff0000
[RGB/A] - CSS Color Module Level 3 and 4 "rgba(255 500 0 / 25%)" "rgb(100% 0% 101% / 1)"
[HSL/A] - CSS Color Module Level 3 and 4 (number, deg, rad, turn) eg. "hsl(0, 100%, 50%)"
[pre-defined]: One of the pre-defined color keywords.
[transparent]: Shorthand for transparent black, rgba(0,0,0,0).

Install

NPM

npm install @wilfredlopez/color-converter --save

yarn add @wilfredlopez/color-converter

Or from a CDN as ColorConverter:

<head>
  <script src="https://unpkg.com/@wilfredlopez/color-converter"></script>
</head>
<body>
  <script>
    // The class is not the default export. in order to access the class you need to use this sintax
    const color = new ColorConverter.ColorConverter("#ffffff");
    console.log(color);
    //You can also access other methods like
    ColorConverter.parse("#ffffff"); // { alpha: 1, type: "rgb", values: (3) [255, 255, 255]}
    ColorConverter.convert.rgb.hex([255, 255, 255]); //"#ffffff"
    ColorConverter.hex2Rgb("#ffffff"); // {red: 255, green: 255, blue: 255, alpha: 1}
    ColorConverter.mix("red", "green"); // {hex: "#804000", hexa: "#804000ff", rgba: [128, 64, 0, 1], hsla:  [30, 100, 25, 1]}
  </script>
</body>

Usage

import {ColorConverter} from '@wilfredlopez/color-converter'
const color = new ColorConverter('hsl(204deg 100% 50% / 1)')

console.log(color.tint(25))
//> { rgb: [64, 179, 255], alpha: 1, type: "tint", weight: 25, ...methods }
console.log(color.shade(12))
//> { rgb: [0, 135, 224], alpha: 1, type: "shade", weight: 12, ...methods }
console.log(color.tints(8))
//> (12) [ColorConverter...]
console.log(color.shades(23))
//> (4) [ColorConverter...]
console.log(color.all(20))
//> (11) [ColorConverter...]

Methods

constructor

Throws if the color is not accepted.

@param {string} color — a valid CSS color string (red, green, #fff, #000000)
@param {number} alpha - between 0 and 1. defaults to 1
@param {ColorConverterType} type - "shade" | "base" | "tint"
@param {number} weight - defaults to 0

constructor ColorConverter(color?: string | number, alpha?: number, type?: ColorConverterType, weight?: number): ColorConverter

setColor(color)

Sets a new base color, returns null if color has not been accepted.

@param {string} color - a valid CSS color string
@return {ColorConverter|null}

tint([weight=50])

Lightens the base color by mixing it with white as specified by weight.

@param {number} [weight=50]
@return {ColorConverter}

shade([weight=50)

Darkens the base color by mixing it with black as specified by weight.

@param {number} [weight=50]
@return {ColorConverter}

tints([weight=10])

Generates the tints of the base color as specified by weight.

@param {number} [weight=10]
@return {Array<ColorConverter>}

shades([percentage=10])

Generates the shades of the base color as specified by weight.

@param {number} [weight=10]
@return {Array<ColorConverter>}

all([weight=10])

Generates the tints and shades of the base color as specified by weight.

@param {number} [weight=10]
@return {Array<ColorConverter>}

hexString()

Returns the color in hexadecimal RGB notation.

@returns {string} @example #000000 or #00000080

rgbString()

Returns the color in rgb() functional notation.

@returns {string} @example rgb(0, 0, 0) or rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5)

getBrightness()

Calculates the brightness of the color.

@return {number} — the base-color brightness.
