Get Similar Color
Get Similar Color is a TypeScript/JavaScript library that provides utility functions for finding a similar color within a color palette. You can easily use it in either a frontend project or a backend project. This library can assist you in quickly locating colors that closely match a target color.
Installation
You can install the package using npm or yarn:
$ npm install get-similar-color
$ yarn add get-similar-color
Usage
Here's how you can use the Get Similar Color library in your TypeScript/JavaScript project:
JavaScript Example
const getSimilarColor = require("get-similar-color").default;
const defaultColorArray = [
{ name: "red", hex: "#ff0000" },
{ name: "green", hex: "#00ff00" },
{ name: "blue", rgb: { r: 0, g: 0, b: 255 } },
{ name: "yellow", hex: "#ffff00" },
{ name: "purple", rgb: { r: 128, g: 0, b: 128 } },
{ name: "orange", hex: "#ffa500" },
];
const findColor = getSimilarColor({
targetColor: "#e30b0b",
colorArray: defaultColorArray,
similarityThreshold: 0.5,
});
console.log(findColor);
TypeScript Example
import getSimilarColor, { IDefaultColor } from "get-similar-color";
const defaultColorArray: IDefaultColor[] = [
{ name: "red", hex: "#ff0000" },
{ name: "green", hex: "#00ff00" },
{ name: "blue", rgb: { r: 0, g: 0, b: 255 } },
{ name: "yellow", hex: "#ffff00" },
{ name: "purple", rgb: { r: 128, g: 0, b: 128 } },
{ name: "orange", hex: "#ffa500" },
];
const findColor = getSimilarColor({
targetColor: "#e30b0b",
colorArray: defaultColorArray,
similarityThreshold: 0.5,
});
console.log(findColor);
Console Output
The output will be either null
or an object representing the most similar color:
{
name: "red",
hex: "#ff0000",
rgb: {
r: 255,
g: 0,
b: 0
},
similarity: 0.93
}
Features
- getSimilarColor: Find a similar color from an array based on a target color and a similarity threshold.
- IDefaultColor: Interface for default color array.
- Support for Multiple Color Formats: HEX, RGB, HSL, and HSV formats.
- Advanced Similarity Calculation: Uses the CIEDE2000 algorithm for more accurate color similarity calculations.
Advanced Features
The latest version of the Get Similar Color library includes several advanced features:
Support for Multiple Color Formats
In addition to HEX and RGB, the library now supports HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) and HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) color formats. This allows you to input and compare colors in a variety of formats.
HSL Example
const findColor = getSimilarColor({
targetColor: { h: 240, s: 100, l: 50 },
colorArray: defaultColorArray,
similarityThreshold: 0.5,
});
console.log(findColor);
HSV Example
const findColor = getSimilarColor({
targetColor: { h: 0, s: 100, v: 100 },
colorArray: defaultColorArray,
similarityThreshold: 0.5,
});
console.log(findColor);
Advanced Similarity Calculation
The library now includes an implementation of the CIEDE2000 algorithm for calculating color differences. This algorithm provides a more accurate measurement of color similarity compared to simple RGB or HEX comparisons.
