Color Conversion Functions

This document provides details for various color conversion functions that can convert between HEX, RGB, and HSL formats. Each function is described along with its usage and an example.

Method	Description	Example
hex_to_hsl(hex_color)	Converts a HEX color code to HSL format. It accepts a string representing the HEX code (e.g., #RRGGBB) and returns a string in hsl(h, s%, l%) format.	hex_to_hsl('#FF5733') → hsl(9, 100%, 60%)
hex_to_rgb(hex_color)	Converts a HEX color code to RGB format. It accepts a string representing the HEX code and returns a string in rgb(r, g, b) format.	hex_to_rgb('#FF5733') → rgb(255, 87, 51)
hsl_to_rgb(hsl_color)	Converts an HSL color value to RGB format. It accepts a string in hsl(h, s%, l%) format and returns the RGB equivalent in rgb(r, g, b) format.	hsl_to_rgb('hsl(9, 100%, 60%)') → rgb(255, 87, 51)
hsl_to_hex(hsl_color)	Converts an HSL color value to HEX format. It accepts a string in hsl(h, s%, l%) format and returns the HEX equivalent as a string #RRGGBB.	hsl_to_hex('hsl(9, 100%, 60%)') → #FF5733
rgb_to_hex(rgb_string)	Converts an RGB color value to HEX format. It accepts a string in rgb(r, g, b) format and returns the HEX equivalent in #RRGGBB.	rgb_to_hex('rgb(255, 87, 51)') → #FF5733
rgb_to_hsl(rgb_color)	Converts an RGB color value to HSL format. It accepts a string in rgb(r, g, b) format and returns the HSL equivalent in hsl(h, s%, l%).	rgb_to_hsl('rgb(255, 87, 51)') → hsl(9, 100%, 60%)
color_parser(color_name)	Accepts a color name (e.g., "red", "blue") and returns the corresponding HEX, RGB, and HSL values based on a predefined dictionary of color names.	color_parser('red') → {'color_name': 'red', 'hex': '#FF0000', 'rgb': 'rgb(255, 0, 0)', 'hsl': 'hsl(0, 100%, 50%)'}
generate_random_color()	Generates a random color and returns it in HEX, RGB, and HSL formats. The generated values are random for red, green, and blue components.	generate_random_color() → {'hsl': 'hsl(180, 50%, 60%)', 'rgb': 'rgb(128, 255, 255)', 'hex': '#80FFFF'}

Additional Notes

• The functions assume valid color inputs. For example, HEX codes should be in the format #RRGGBB and RGB values should be in the range of 0-255.
• The color_parser method relies on a predefined dictionary of color names. Ensure that this dictionary is available and properly populated with color name-to-HEX mappings.

# Importing functions from the colorcycle package
from colorcycle import (
    hex_to_rgb,
    rgb_to_hex,
    rgb_to_hsl,
    hex_to_hsl,
    hsl_to_rgb,
    hsl_to_hex,
    color_parser,
    generate_random_color
)

1. Convert HEX to RGB

Converts a HEX color to an RGB object. We convert the HEX value "#FF5733" to its RGB components: 255 for Red, 87 for Green, and 51 for Blue.

print("1 HEX to RGB:")
hex_color = "#ff5733"
print(f"HEX: {hex_color} -> RGB: {hex_to_rgb(hex_color)}")

2. Convert RGB to HEX

Converts an RGB object to a HEX color. We convert the RGB values rgb(255, 87, 51) to the HEX color "#FF5733".

print("\n2 RGB to HEX:")
rgb_color = 'rgb(255, 87, 51)'
print(f"RGB {rgb_color} -> HEX {rgb_to_hex(rgb_color)}")

3. Convert RGB to HSL

Converts an RGB object to an HSL object. We convert the RGB color hsl(255, 87%, 51%) to HSL values: Hue = 9°, Saturation = 100%, Lightness = 60%.

print("\n3 RGB to HSL:")
print(f"RGB {rgb_color} -> HSL {rgb_to_hsl(rgb_color)}")

4. Convert HEX to HSL

Converts a HEX color to an HSL object. We convert the HEX color "#FF5733" to HSL values, where H is 9°, S is 100%, and L is 60%.

print("\n4 HEX to HSL:")
print(f"HEX {hex_color} -> HSL {hex_to_hsl(hex_color)}")

5. Convert HSL to RGB

Converts an HSL object to an RGB object. We convert the HSL color hsl(9, 100%, 60%) to the RGB color rgb(255, 87, 51).

print("\n5 HSL to RGB:")
hsl_color = 'hsl(11, 100%, 60%)'  # Assuming (H, S, L) format
print(f"HSL {hsl_color} -> RGB {hsl_to_rgb(hsl_color)}")

6. Convert HSL to HEX

Converts an HSL object to a HEX color. We convert the HSL color hsl(9, 100%, 60%) to the HEX color "#FF5733".

print("\n6 HSL to HEX:")
print(f"HSL {hsl_color} -> HEX {hsl_to_hex(hsl_color)}")

7. Color Parser (Identify color name and provide RGB, HEX, and HSL values)

Generates a random RGB, HEX and HSL color.

print("\n7 Color Parser:")
color_name = "light blue"  # Replace with any color name
color_data = color_parser(color_name)
print(color_data)

8. Generate a Random Color (RGB, HEX, HSL)

Parses common color names and returns the corresponding HEX, RGB, and HSL values. This function takes the color name "red" and returns its HEX, RGB, and HSL values.

print("\n8. Random Color Generator:")
random_color = generate_random_color()
print(f"{random_color}")

Compatibility and Framework Support

ColorCycle is lightweight and framework-agnostic, but it works seamlessly with modern Python and JavaScript frameworks pip install colorcycle like React, Vue.js, Angular, and Svelte.
