Real Life Color (RYB) Mixer.

Emulate color mixing as if you where mixing real life colors, ie substractive colors

Usage:

rybColorMixer.mix(arrayOfColors [,options]);

// or

rybColorMixer.mix(color1, color2, color3.... [,options]);

Where arrayOfColos is an array of hex rgb colors ['#ff0000', '#00ff00']. Example:

rybColorMixer.mix(['#ff0000', '#00ff00']);

You can pass an options object:

{
    hex: Boolean, // default is true
    result: "ryb|rgb", // default is "ryb"
}

So, for example, if you want to return a mixed color as RGB:

rybColorMixer.mix('#ff0000', '#00ff00', { result: "rgb" });

You can also snap to the nearest color in an array of hex colors:

rybColorMixer.findNearest(orgColorinHex, listOfColors);

Example:

rybColorMixer.findNearest('#fff000', ['#ff0000', '#ff0f00']);

List of all methods:

• rybColorMixer.mix(array [,options]); Returns a RGB color in hex.
• rybColorMixer.mix(color1, color2, color3, ... [,options]); Returns a RGB color in hex.
• rybColorMixer.findNearest(color, array); Returns a RGB color in hex.
• rybColorMixer.rybToRgb(color); convert a color from RYB to RGB.

Dependecies

The source coude contains the code from https://github.com/bahamas10/node-rgb2ryb I included the rgb2ryb code inside the ryb-color-mixer for ease of use in the browser. Great job @bahamas10.
