colorspace

What is colorspace?

The 'colorspace' npm package is a utility for converting between different color spaces, such as RGB, HSL, and HSV. It provides functions to easily transform color values, making it useful for tasks involving color manipulation, analysis, and visualization in web development and other programming projects.

What are colorspace's main functionalities?

RGB to HSL conversion

Converts an RGB color object to its equivalent HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) representation. Useful for color transformations and adjustments based on lightness and saturation.

const colorspace = require('colorspace');
const rgb = { r: 255, g: 0, b: 0 };
const hsl = colorspace.rgb2hsl(rgb);
console.log(hsl);

HSL to RGB conversion

Converts an HSL color object back to RGB. This is particularly useful when you need to perform operations in HSL space and then convert the results back to RGB for display or further processing.

const colorspace = require('colorspace');
const hsl = { h: 120, s: 100, l: 50 };
const rgb = colorspace.hsl2rgb(hsl);
console.log(rgb);

Other packages similar to colorspace

color-convert

A comprehensive color conversion library that supports conversions between a multitude of color models. Compared to 'colorspace', 'color-convert' offers a wider range of color models and more conversion options, making it more versatile for complex color processing tasks.

chroma-js

A small-ish zero-dependency JavaScript library for all kinds of color conversions and color scales. 'chroma-js' not only supports basic color space conversions like 'colorspace' but also provides capabilities for color scale generation, color interpolation, and more advanced color manipulation features.

README

colorspace

Colorspace is a simple module which generates HEX color codes for namespaces. The base color is decided by the first part of the namespace. All other parts of the namespace alters the color tone. This way you can visually see which namespaces belong together and which does not.

Installation

The module is released in the public npm registry and can be installed by running:

npm install --save colorspace

Usage

We assume that you've already required the module using the following code:

'use strict';

var colorspace = require('colorspace');

The returned function accepts 2 arguments:

1. namespace string, The namespace that needs to have a HEX color generated.
2. delimiter, string, optional, Delimiter to find the different sections of the namespace. Defaults to :

Example

console.log(colorspace('color')) // #6b4b3a
console.log(colorspace('color:space')) // #796B67
