culori
Advanced tools
Package description
The 'culori' npm package is a comprehensive color library for JavaScript that provides a wide range of functionalities for color manipulation, conversion, and analysis. It supports various color spaces and formats, making it a versatile tool for developers working with colors in web development, data visualization, and other applications.
Color Conversion
This feature allows you to convert colors between different color spaces. In the example, an RGB color is converted to the LAB color space.
const culori = require('culori');
const rgbColor = culori.rgb('#ff0000');
const labColor = culori.lab(rgbColor);
console.log(labColor);
Color Manipulation
This feature provides functions to manipulate colors, such as lightening or darkening them. The example demonstrates how to lighten an HSL color.
const culori = require('culori');
const color = culori.hsl({ h: 0, s: 1, l: 0.5 });
const lighterColor = culori.lighten(color, 0.2);
console.log(lighterColor);
Color Parsing
This feature allows you to parse color strings into color objects. The example shows how to parse a hex color string into an RGB color object.
const culori = require('culori');
const color = culori.parse('#ff0000');
console.log(color);
Color Interpolation
This feature enables color interpolation between two or more colors. The example demonstrates how to find a color that is halfway between red and blue.
const culori = require('culori');
const interpolate = culori.interpolate(['#ff0000', '#0000ff']);
const midColor = interpolate(0.5);
console.log(midColor);
Color Difference
This feature allows you to calculate the difference between two colors. The example shows how to compute the Euclidean difference between red and green colors.
const culori = require('culori');
const color1 = culori.rgb('#ff0000');
const color2 = culori.rgb('#00ff00');
const difference = culori.differenceEuclidean(color1, color2);
console.log(difference);
Chroma.js is another popular color library for JavaScript that provides similar functionalities for color manipulation, conversion, and analysis. It supports various color spaces and offers a rich set of features for working with colors. Compared to 'culori', Chroma.js has a more extensive API for color scales and palettes, making it particularly useful for data visualization.
The 'color' npm package is a versatile library for color conversion and manipulation. It supports a wide range of color spaces and provides methods for color transformations. While 'culori' focuses on a broader set of color spaces and more advanced color science features, 'color' is simpler and easier to use for basic color operations.
TinyColor2 is a lightweight color manipulation library that offers basic functionalities for color conversion, manipulation, and analysis. It is designed to be small and fast, making it suitable for performance-sensitive applications. Compared to 'culori', TinyColor2 has a more limited feature set but is easier to integrate into projects where minimal overhead is desired.
