color-space

What is color-space?

The color-space npm package provides a comprehensive set of tools for color space conversion and manipulation. It supports a wide range of color spaces and allows for easy conversion between them.

What are color-space's main functionalities?

RGB to HSL Conversion

This feature allows you to convert colors from the RGB color space to the HSL color space. The code sample demonstrates converting a red color in RGB to its HSL representation.

const colorSpace = require('color-space');
const rgb = [255, 0, 0];
const hsl = colorSpace.rgb.hsl(rgb);
console.log(hsl); // [0, 100, 50]

HSL to RGB Conversion

This feature allows you to convert colors from the HSL color space to the RGB color space. The code sample demonstrates converting a red color in HSL to its RGB representation.

const colorSpace = require('color-space');
const hsl = [0, 100, 50];
const rgb = colorSpace.hsl.rgb(hsl);
console.log(rgb); // [255, 0, 0]

CMYK to RGB Conversion

This feature allows you to convert colors from the CMYK color space to the RGB color space. The code sample demonstrates converting a red color in CMYK to its RGB representation.

const colorSpace = require('color-space');
const cmyk = [0, 1, 1, 0];
const rgb = colorSpace.cmyk.rgb(cmyk);
console.log(rgb); // [255, 0, 0]

XYZ to LAB Conversion

This feature allows you to convert colors from the XYZ color space to the LAB color space. The code sample demonstrates converting a color in XYZ to its LAB representation.

const colorSpace = require('color-space');
const xyz = [41.24, 21.26, 1.93];
const lab = colorSpace.xyz.lab(xyz);
console.log(lab); // [53.23288178584245, 80.10930952982204, 67.22006831026425]

Other packages similar to color-space

color-convert

The color-convert package provides similar functionality for converting between different color spaces. It supports a wide range of color spaces and offers a simple API for conversions. Compared to color-space, color-convert is more focused on providing a straightforward conversion API without additional manipulation features.

chroma-js

Chroma.js is a powerful library for color manipulation and conversion. It supports a wide range of color spaces and provides additional features for color interpolation, blending, and more. Compared to color-space, Chroma.js offers more advanced color manipulation capabilities and a more user-friendly API.

tinycolor2

TinyColor is a small, fast library for color manipulation and conversion. It supports a variety of color spaces and provides a simple API for common color operations. Compared to color-space, TinyColor is more lightweight and focused on providing essential color manipulation features.

color-space

Math and data behind color spaces and color conversions.

Use

$ npm install color-space

Use browserify for browser use.

var convert = require('color-space');

//convert rgb to lch
convert.rgb.lch([200,230,100]);

API

Convert from one space to another:

var fromSpace = 'rgb', toSpace = 'hsl';

convert[fromSpace][toSpace](array);

Get space data:

convert[space].min //channel minimums
convert[space].max //channel maximums
convert[space].channel //channel names
convert[space].alias //alias space names, if any

Available spaces:

• rgb
• hsl
• hsv (hsb)
• hwb
• cmyk
• xyz (ciexyz)
• lab (cielab)
• lch (cielch)

To see details console.log(convert).

Color-convert differences

Color-space was initially a fork of color-convert, but then it was separated into a standalone module with changes:

• No keyword "space": actually, it is not a space, it is a different kind of knowledge. Also extra bytes are saved.
• No wrapper code: you have a natural wrapper already — harthur/color or a faster fork dfcreative/color.
• conversions.js are placed to index.js for better use.
• [pending] CIE spaces.
• [pending] HUSL spaces (great thanks to Alexei Boronine for his HUSL).
• Minimums, maximums, channel names and aliases info.
• Better structured, easier exported (esp. for webworkers).
• No result rounding — she can always do it herself.
• Unlicensed.

Contribute

Please fork, add conversions, figure out color profile stuff for XYZ, LAB, etc. This is meant to be a basic library that can be used by other libraries to wrap color calculations in some cool way.
