Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Kelvin color temperature to RGB convertor

color-temperature

Color Spectrum

Converts color temperature in Kelvin to a color in RGB color space -- and vice versa.

The conversion is designed to be fast and usable for image processing. More details on color temperature and the algorithm can be found here.

Installation

$ npm install --save color-temperture

Usage

var ct = require('color-temperature');

//convert kelvin to RGB
// eg convert typical candlelight (1850K ) to RGB
var rgb = ct.colorTemperature2rgb(1850);

var red = rgb.red;
var green = rgb.green;
var blue = rgb.blue;

RGB color is represented in JSON format: An RGB of [0, 128, 255] would be represented as

{
  red : 0,
  green : 128,
  blue : 255
}

Examples

Often, the convertor is deployed as part of an image processing loop. The following example uses streams to generate a PNG similar to that at the top of this README file.

var fs = require('fs');
var png_encoder = require('png-stream');
var ct = require('color-temperature');
var width = 500;
var height = 100;
var kelvinStart = 10;
var kelvinEnd = 40000;

var pixels = new Buffer(width * height * 3);
for (var w = 0; w < width; w += 1) {
  for (var h = 0; h < height; h += 1) {
      var i = ((h*width)+w)*3;

      kelvin = ((kelvinEnd-kelvinStart)/width)* w + kelvinStart;
      var rgb = ct.colorTemperature2rgb(kelvin);

      pixels[i] = rgb.red;
      pixels[i + 1] = rgb.green;
      pixels[i + 2] = rgb.blue;
  }
}

var enc = new png_encoder.Encoder(width, height);
enc.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('color-temperature-'+kelvinStart+'-'+kelvinEnd+'.png'));
enc.end(pixels);

There are examples in the examples directory.

API

NOTE The conversions use approximations and are suitable for photo-mainpulation and other non-critical uses.

Accuracy is best between 1000K and 40000K.

require('color-temperature').colorTemperature2rgb(kelvin);

Convert a color temperature in Kelvin to RGB. This method uses an approximation based on a curve fit of data from a sparse RGB to Kelvin mapping.

require('color-temperature').colorTemperature2rgbUsingTH(kelvin);

A JavaScript port of the original algorithm from Tanner Helland. This method is mainly here for comparison purposes. Generally, colorTemperature2rgb provides more accurate results.

require('color-temperature').rgb2colorTemperature(rgb);

Convert a color in RGB format to a color temperature in Kelvin.
