husl_harmony
Use the HUSL library to generate more effective and better balanced color harmonies.
Example
By example, asking husl_harmony
for the first 14 swatch sets for color #3D7AFA
yields these:
.
That palette set is generated by this code:
husl_harmony
is mostly meant for code use, and primarily ships back arrays of hex-6 colors of the form ['#aabbcc', '#ddeeff']
.
Its results are best when used with tertiary, mid-saturation colors (colors where none of the three RGB color channels are
near-max or near-zero.)
husl_harmony
also includes a harmonious gray balancer with color overlay
calculation, which is great
for making color-hinted websites.
window.onload = function() {
var husl_harmony = require('husl_harmony'),
swatch_div = husl_harmony.make_all_swatches('#3D7AFA');
document.body.innerHTML = '<h1>All swatch sets matching <tt>#3D7AFA</tt></h1>';
document.body.appendChild(swatch_div);
}
Color swatch sets will be balanced in hue, saturation, lightness, and oriented to the source color.
ES6 Usage
// let's get the analogous-7 matches of our color, a dark blue, #0026ff
import {from_rgb} from './husl_harmony.js';
console.log( from_rgb('#0026FF', 'analogous-7') );
The result should be
["#005e53", "#005c64", "#00597b", "#0026FF", "#8e00a9", "#9c007e", "#a50051"]
ES5 Usage
// see dist/index.html for a working example
var hh = require('husl_harmony');
console.log( hh.from_rgb('#0026FF', 'analogous-7') );
The result should be
["#005e53", "#005c64", "#00597b", "#0026FF", "#8e00a9", "#9c007e", "#a50051"]
