gradient-now

gradient-now is a command-line tool that generates a gradient of colors based on the input provided. You can specify any number of colors in hexadecimal format or color names, followed by a number indicating the steps in the gradient.

Installation

To install gradient-now, use the following npm command:

$ npm install -g gradient-now

Usage

$ gradient-now color1 color2 ... colorN steps

• color1, color2, ..., colorN: Hexadecimal color codes or color names.
• steps: The number of steps in the gradient.

You can also add --list to the end of the command to return an array of string values instead.

Example 1

$ gradient-now red blue 8

Will return eight hexadecimals colors starting the gradient at red and ending at blue:

#ff0000 #db0024 #b60049 #92006d #6d0092 #4900b6 #2400db #0000ff

Example 2

$ gradient-now aquamarine #912798 #abd778 12 --list

Will return an array of hexadecimal string values:

[
  '#7fffd4', '#82d8c9', '#86b0be', '#8989b3', '#8c62a8', '#8f3b9d',
  '#933795', '#98578f', '#9d7789', '#a29784', '#a6b77e', '#abd778'
]

In both cases, the tool will output a set of colors representing the requested gradient.

Average color

This of course also makes gradient-now a convenient tool to quickly return an average of two colors.

Example

$ gradient-now yellow red 3

Will return three colors where the average color will be the second one:

#ffff00 #ff8000 #ff0000
