colr
Simple color conversion library based on simplicity and stability
API
Constructors
Create a new instance of the Colr class
// create a empty instance
var colr = new Colr();
// create from hex
var colr = Colr.fromHex('#abc123');
// create from rgb
var colr = Colr.fromRgb(20, 30, 40);
var colr = Colr.fromRgbArray([20, 30, 40]);
var colr = Colr.fromRgbObject({r:20, g:30, b:40});
// create from hsl
var colr = Colr.fromHsl(320, 20, 90);
var colr = Colr.fromHslArray([320, 20, 90]);
var colr = Colr.fromHslObject({h:320, s:20, l:90});
// create from grayscale
var colr = Colr.fromGrayscale(128);
Importers
Change the color of an existing Colr instance.
All methods return the colr
instance and can be chained.
var colr = new Colr();
// import from hex
colr.fromHex('#abc123');
// import from rgb
colr.fromRgb(20, 30, 40);
colr.fromRgbArray([20, 30, 40]);
colr.fromRgbObject({r:20, g:30, b:40});
// import from hsl
colr.fromHsl(320, 20, 90);
colr.fromHslArray([320, 20, 90]);
colr.fromHslObject({h:320, s:20, l:90});
// import from hsv/hsb
colr.fromHsv(30, 80, 20);
colr.fromHsvArray([30, 80, 20]);
colr.fromHsvObject({h:30, s:80, v:20});
// create from grayscale
colr.fromGrayscale(128);
Hsl/Hsv ranges
These are not 0 to 255 but rather:
Hue: [0, 360]
Saturation: [0, 100]
Lightness/Value: [0, 100]
Exporters
Convert the color to another format
var colr = Colr().fromHex('bada55');
colr.toHex(); // "#BADA55"
colr.toRgbArray(); // [186, 218, 85]
colr.toRgbObject(); // {r:186, g:218, b:85}
colr.toRawRgbArray(); // [186, 218, 85]
colr.toRawRgbObject(); // {r:186, g:218, b:85}
colr.toHslArray(); // [74, 64, 59]
colr.toHslObject(); // {h:74, s:64, l:59}
colr.toRawHslArray(); // {74.4360902255639, 64.25120772946859, 59.411764705882355]
colr.toRawHslObject(); // {r:74.4360902255639, g:64.25120772946859, b:59.411764705882355}
colr.toHsvArray(); // [74, 61, 85]
colr.toHsvObject(); //{h: 74, s: 61, l: 85}
colr.toRawHsvArray(); // [74.4360902255639, 61.00917431192661, 85.49019607843137]
colr.toRawHsvObject(); // {r:74.4360902255639, g:61.00917431192661, b:85.49019607843137}
colr.toGrayscale(); // 193.27
Modifiers
All methods return the colr
instance and can be chained.
var colr = Colr.fromHex('000').lighten(20);
colr.toHex(); // "#333333"
var colr = Colr.fromHex('FFF').darken(20);
colr.toHex(); // "#CCCCCC"
Misc
var a = Colr.fromHex('#000');
var b = a.clone();
a.lighten(20);
a.toHex(); // '#333333'
b.toHex(); // '#000000'
