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.

README

Color-space

Math and data behind color spaces and color conversions. Color-space provides a uniform interface to the following color spaces: RGB, HSl, HSV (HSB), HWB, CMYK, CMY, XYZ, XYY (YXY), LAB, LCH_ab, LUV, LCH_uv, H_uSL, H_uSL_p, LAB_Hunter, LMS.

Converter & tests

Use

In browser:

Attach color-space.js and use global colorSpace object:

<script src="js/color-space.js"></script>

var rgb = colorSpace.rgb;

//convert rgb to hsl
rgb.hsl([255,0,0]);

Also you can use browserify to get your own build.

In node:

$ npm install color-space

Include all spaces:

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

//convert lab to lch
colorSpace.lab.lch([80,50,60]);

Include only needed spaces (to get a subset or to shrink final size):

var rgb = require('color-space/rgb');
var hsl = require('color-space/hsl');

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

API

Convert one space to another:

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

colorSpace[fromSpace][toSpace](array);

Space data:

space.name //space name
space.min //channel minimums
space.max //channel maximums
space.channel //channel names
space.alias //alias space names, if any
xyz.whitepoint //list of whitepoint references
lms.transform //list of transform matrices

For other details see source code or console.log(space).

Please fork, add color space with basic conversions (to/from XYZ or RGB), tests. Color-space is supposed to be a basic library to work with color conversions, an enhanced replacement for color-convert.
