color-lerp

Creates arbitrary size ranges of colors given 2 colors and a size.

Installation

$ npm install color-lerp -S

Usage

Turn 2 colors into a spectrum of 3 colors.

var colorLerp = require('color-lerp');
colorLerp('hsl(0, 50%, 50%)', 'hsl(100, 50%, 50%)', 3);
// => ['hsl(0, 50%, 50%)', 'hsl(50, 50%, 50%)', 'hsl(100, 50%, 50%)'];

Return the results in RGB instead of HSL.

var colorLerp = require('color-lerp');
colorLerp('#FF0000', '#00FF00', 2, 'rgb');
// => ['rgb(255, 0, 0)', 'rgb(0, 255, 0)'];

API

colorLerp(color1, color2, steps, [format='hsl']) → range

color1:String & color2:String

Any valid input for the color package.

Pass any valid CSS color string or a hash of values.

steps:Number

The size the range should be. A value of 2 will return the 2 colors given. A size of 3 will interpolate a single value between the 2 colors given. A size of n will create a range of size n beginning with color1 and ending with color2 with linearly interpolated values over the HSL space in between.

format:String

The format you want the colors returned. Defaults to HSL.

Valid formats:

• hex ex. #ff0000
• rgb ex. rgb(255, 0, 0)
• rgba ex. rgba(255, 0, 0, 1)
• percent ex. rgb(100%, 0%, 0%)
• % ex. rgb(100%, 0%, 0%)
• hsl ex. hsl(255, 100%, 50%)
• hsla ex. hsla(255, 100%, 50%, 1)
• hwb ex. hwb(0, 0%, 0%)
• color ex. color Object

range:Array

The resulting array from interpolating the values.
