material-palette

Generates material palettes for your colors

Given an input color it calculates its palette approaching the logic of Google Material Design Color Palettes.

Since the algorithm behind their generation is not (yet) known this module approximates the colors values.

It works everywhere: browsers, node, and so on.

Install

With npm do:

npm install material-palette

API

This module exports a single function, the material palette generator.

materialpalette({ h: number, s: number, l: number })

• It takes an object containing the h, s, and l fields

  • The field h must be a numeric into [0, 360].

  • The fields s and l must be numerics into [0, 100].

• It returns an object containing all the 14 palette variants (e.g., 50, 100, 200, ..., A700)

As always, more details reading the tests ...

Example

Suppose you want to generate a material palette for hsl(87, 100%, 22%) color (i.e. #3E7000).

First of all import the generator.

var materialpalette = require('materialpalette') // node
import materialpalette from 'materialpalette' // ES2015
window.materialpalette // browsers

Then use it.

var ciao = materialpalette({ h: 87, s: 100, l: 22 })

Which results in the following object ...

{
  '50': { h: 87, s: 100, l: 74 },
  '100': { h: 87, s: 100, l: 59 },
  '200': { h: 87, s: 100, l: 48 },
  '300': { h: 87, s: 100, l: 34 },
  '400': { h: 87, s: 100, l: 28 },
  '500': { h: 87, s: 100, l: 22 },
  '600': { h: 87, s: 100, l: 16 },
  '700': { h: 87, s: 100, l: 10 },
  '800': { h: 87, s: 100, l: 4 },
  '900': { h: 87, s: 100, l: 0 },
  'A100': { h: 92, s: 100, l: 46 },
  'A200': { h: 92, s: 100, l: 38 },
  'A400': { h: 92, s: 100, l: 21 },
  'A700': { h: 92, s: 100, l: 10 }
}

Matching, visually ...

It's cool, isn't it?
