<script src="https://unpkg.com/colorsys@1.0.11/colorsys.js"></script>

example

var colorsys = require('colorsys')
const hsl = colorsys.parseCss('hsl(0, 0%, 100%)') //  { h: 0, s: 0, l: 100 }
colorsys.hsl2Hex(hsl) // '#ffffff'
const hsv = colorsys.rgb_to_hsv({r: 255, g: 255, b: 255 })
colorsys.stringify(hsv) // 'hsv(0, 0%, 100%)'
// Parsing an hex string will result in a RGB object!
colorsys.parseCss('#ff00ff') // { r: 255, g: 0, b: 255 }

API

For any method the input arguments can be an object (r: 50, g: 100, b: 0} or a set of integers 50, 100, 0. You have aliases in both snake_case (hex_to_hsl) or rgb2Hex, hsv2Rgb form.

• colorsys.parseCss(color: string) will parse a color string in an object with the same keys.
• colorsys.stringify(color: Object) will output a valid css string.
• colorsys.rgb_to_hsl({ r: 255, g: 255, b: 255 }) => { h: 0 , s: 0 , l: 100 }
• colorsys.rgb_to_hsv({ r: 255, g: 255, b: 255 }) => { h: 0 , s: 0 , v: 100 }

Try with any combination. Look at the source to double check!

• colorsys.hslToRgb
• colorsys.hsvToRgb
• colorsys.rgbToHex
• colorsys.hexToRgb
• colorsys.hsvToHex
• colorsys.hexToHsv
• colorsys.hslToHex
• colorsys.hexToHsl
• colorsys.rgb2cmyk
• colorsys.cmyk2rgb

Other methods:

• Generate a random hex color: colorsys.random()
• Rotate a color hue: colorsys.rotateHue(120, 120) will output 240. You can also use HSL or HSV objects as rotateHue(hsv, 120) will output an object containing {h: 240}.

There are some formats missing like YIQ, HWB, ansii and ansi16. Please help us to complete this library making a pull request.
