esm-color

A lightweight, tree-shakable ESM library for color manipulation. Supply any valid CSS color string (e.g., #3498db, green, rgb(255,0,0), or hsl(240,100%,50%)) to a variety of utility functions for parsing, converting, and manipulating colors.

Features

• Parse and convert between color formats (e.g., RGB, HSL, HEX).
• Manipulate colors with functions like lighten, darken, saturate, and desaturate.
• Check whether a color is light or dark.
• Generate complementary, inverted, or mixed colors.

Installation

Install the library using npm:

npm install esm-color

Usage

Import the functions you need and use them in your project:

import { lighten, darken, parseColor, complementaryColor } from 'esm-color';

// Lighten a color
const lightenedColor = lighten('#3498db', 0.2); // #5ba8e1

// Darken a color
const darkenedColor = darken('#3498db', 0.2); // #2e7aba

// Parse a color
const rgba = parseColor('rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.5)'); // [255, 0, 0, 0.5]

// Get a complementary color
const complementary = complementaryColor('#3498db'); // #db8234
