What is colorir?
colorir is a package used to create and manipulate color palettes.
Main features
- Create color schemes and save them to use in different projects
- Interpolate colors in different formats (such as RGB, CIELab etc) to make gradients and color maps
- Have access to a curated selection of unique color palettes and color names
- Easily visualize swatches of colors in the terminal
Getting started
It is very easy to create an original and attractive color palette with colorir:
.. code-block:: python
import colorir as cl
grad = cl.PolarGrad(["ffff00", "ff00ff"]) # Creates a gradient from yellow to magenta
palette = cl.StackPalette(grad.n_colors(5)) # Samples 5 colors along the gradient and creates a palette with them
palette *= cl.HCLab(1, 0.5, 1) # Desaturates the palette 50% to get a more pleasing look
cl.swatch(palette) # Shows the palette we created in the terminal

colorir also works seamlessly with other python packages and you don't have to convert colorir objects to pass
them as input to other frameworks:
.. code-block:: python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.pie([0.25, 0.15, 0.20, 0.20, 0.20], colors=palette)
plt.show()
