Example usage

Color class

from chromato.spaces import Color

red = Color(255, 0, 0)

red.cmyk  # CMYK(c=0, m=100, y=100, k=0)
red.hex   # HEX(ff0000)
red.rgb   # RGB(r=255, g=0, b=0)
red.hsl   # HSL(h=0, s=1, l=0.5)
red.hsv   # HSV(h=0, s=1, v=1)

Operations

from chromato import operations
from chromato.spaces import RGB

red = RGB(255, 0, 0)
blue = RGB(0, 0, 255)

operations.add(red, blue)        # RGB(r=255, g=0, b=255)
operations.blend(red, blue).rgb  # RGB(r=128, g=0, b=128)
operations.invert(red).rgb       # RGB(r=0, g=255, b=255)
operations.tint(red, 0.1).rgb    # RGB(r=255, g=26, b=26)

Conversion

from chromato import convert

convert.rgb_to_hex(255, 0, 0)  # HEX(ff0000)
convert.hex_to_rgb("ff0000")   # RGB(r=255, g=0, b=0)
convert.hex_to_cmyk("f0f")     # CMYK(c=0, m=100, y=0, k=0)

Operations

Each operation take one or several color values and returns a Color instance.

Operation	Description
add(color1, color2)	Add colors
blend(color1, color2, factor)	Blend/mix colors
complement(color)	Complementary color
hsv_mod(color, hue_shift, saturation_shift, value_shift)	HSV modification
invert(color)	Invert color
multiply(color1, color2)	Multiply colors
shade(color, factor)	Increase darkness (blend with black)
subtract(color1, color2)	Subtract colors
tint(color, factor)	Increase lightness (blend with white)
tone(color, factor)	Reduce colorfullness (blend with gray)

• Arguments: color<any>, factor <float> [0-1]
• Returns: instance of Color

Example

from chromato.spaces import RGB
from chromato.operations import blend, invert

white = RGB(255, 255, 255)
black = RGB(0, 0, 0)

blend(white, black).rgb       # RGB(r=128, g=128, b=128)
blend(white, black, 0.2).rgb  # RGB(r=204, g=204, b=204)
blend(white, black, 0.8).rgb  # RGB(r=51, g=51, b=51)

invert(black).rgb             # RGB(r=255, g=255, b=255)
invert((255, 0, 0)).cmyk      # CMYK(c=0, m=100, y=100, k=0)
invert("ff0000").hex          # HEX(00ffff)

Parsing

Each parse function takes any kind of value and tries to parse it.

Function	Returns	Description
parse_cmyk(value)	tuple(c,m,y,k)	Parse value as CMYK
parse_hex(value)	str(hex)	Parse value as HEX
parse_hsl(value)	tuple(h,l,s)	Parse value as HSL
parse_hsv(value)	tuple(h,s,v)	Parse value as HSV
parse_rgb(value)	tuple(r,g,b)	Parse value as RGB

Example

from chromato import parse
from chromato.spaces import Color, HEX, RGB

parse.parse_hex("f")                 # "ffffff"
parse.parse_hex("f60")               # "ff6600"
parse.parse_hex("ff6600")            # "ff6600"
parse.parse_hex(" #ff6600 ")         # "ff6600"
parse.parse_hex(333)                 # "333333"
parse.parse_hex(HEX("ff6600"))       # "ff6600"
parse.parse_hex(RGB(255, 102, 0))    # "ff6600"
parse.parse_hex(Color(255, 102, 0))  # "ff6600"

Validation

Each validation function validates type and range. Returns True/False.

from chromato import validation

validation.is_cmyk(c, m, y, k)
validation.is_hex(hex)
validation.is_hsl(h, s, l)
validation.is_hsv(h, s, v)
validation.is_rgb(r, g, b)
