What are colornames's main functionalities?

Convert color name to hex

This feature allows you to convert a color name (e.g., 'red') to its corresponding hexadecimal color code (e.g., '#ff0000').

const colornames = require('colornames');
const hexColor = colornames('red');
console.log(hexColor); // Output: '#ff0000'

Handle case-insensitive color names

The package can handle color names in a case-insensitive manner, making it flexible for user input.

const colornames = require('colornames');
const hexColor = colornames('Red');
console.log(hexColor); // Output: '#ff0000'

Return undefined for unknown color names

If an unknown color name is provided, the package returns 'undefined', allowing you to handle errors or invalid inputs gracefully.

const colornames = require('colornames');
const hexColor = colornames('unknownColor');
console.log(hexColor); // Output: undefined
