Compass Colors
This compass extension provides support for working with colors in Sass and generating color themes for use on your website.
Installing
sudo gem install compass-colors
To install a theme into your existing compass project, add the following to your compass configuration file:
require 'compass-colors'
Then run this command:
compass install colors/<Theme Name>
Where <Theme Name> is one of: basic, complementary, triadic, split_complement, analogous
The _theme.sass partial can then be imported into your stylesheets and the color constants can be used.
@import theme.sass

With all of these themes, you must pick a base color and the theme takes it from there:
- Basic/Monochromatic (basic)
- Complementary (complementary)
- Triadic (triadic)
- Split Complementary (split_complement)
- Analogous (analogous)
