JS

import { get } from "@th3-s1lenc3/gh-colors";
// function get(language, mode: default = "hex") {...}

const language = "coffeescript";
const hex = get(language);

console.log(hex);
// Output: #244776

// OR: RGB

const language = "java";
const rgb = get(language, "rgb");

console.log(rgb);
// Output: [ 36, 71, 118 ]

CSS

<!-- Text Color -->
<!-- <span class="gh-color-{language}" /> -->
<span class="gh-color-javascript" />

<!-- Background Color -->
<!-- <span class="gh-bg-color-{language}" /> -->
<span class="gh-bg-color-javascript" />

For languages with special characters, like c# or c++ use the translate function to translate:

import { translate } from "@th3-s1lenc3/gh-colors";
// function translate(name, prefix: default = "color") {...}
// Prefix supports color | bg | bg-color | background

const language = "c#";
const languageClassWPrefix = translate(language); // Default prefix

console.log(languageClassWPrefix);
// Output: gh-color-c-sharp

// For background color
const languageClassWBgPrefix = translate(language, "bg"); // Background color prefix

console.log(languageClassWPrefix);
// Output: gh-bg-color-c-sharp

// OR: without prefix

const language = "c++";
const languageClass = translate(language, "");

console.log(languageClass);
// Output: c-plus-plus
