A library to aid in using colors

ColorAide

Overview

ColorAide is a pure Python, object oriented approach to colors.

>>> from coloraide import Color
>>> c = Color("red")
>>> c.to_string()
'rgb(255 0 0)'
>>> c.convert('hsl').to_string()
'hsl(0 100% 50%)'
>>> c.set("lch.chroma", 30).to_string()
'rgb(173.81 114.29 97.218)'
>>> Color("blue").mix("yellow", space="lch").to_string()
'rgb(255 65.751 107.47)'

ColorAide particularly has a focus on the following:

• Accurate colors.

• Proper round tripping (where reasonable).

• Be generally easy to pick up for the average user.

• Support modern CSS color spaces and syntax.

• Make accessible many new and old non-CSS color spaces.

• Provide a number of useful utilities such as interpolation, color distancing, blending, gamut mapping, filters, correlated color temperature, color vision deficiency simulation, etc.

• Provide a plugin API to extend supported color spaces and approaches to various utilities.

• Allow users to configure defaults to their liking.

With ColorAide, you can specify a color, convert it to other color spaces, mix it with other colors, output it in different CSS formats, and much more!
