A Python implementation of HSLuv (revision 4).
Installation
pip install hsluv
Python 2 users: pip install hsluv==5.0.0
Usage
This library does not hide (clamp) floating point error, e.g. you might receive a value outside of the expected range. If you wish to display the outputs of this library, consider rounding them for your purpose. The floating point error has not been quantified, but at least 10 decimal digits should be free of it.
hsluv_to_hex([hue, saturation, lightness])
hue is a float between 0 and 360, saturation and lightness are floats between 0 and 100. This
function returns the resulting color as a hex string.
hsluv_to_rgb([hue, saturation, lightness])
Like above, but returns a list of 3 floats between 0 and 1, for each RGB channel.
hex_to_hsluv(hex)
Takes a hex string and returns the HSLuv color as a list of floats as defined above.
rgb_to_hsluv([red, green, blue])
Like above, but red, green and blue are passed as floats between 0 and 1.
For HPLuv (the pastel variant), use hpluv_to_hex, hpluv_to_rgb, hex_to_hpluv and rgb_to_hpluv.
Testing
Run python -m unittest discover -v.
Publishing to PyPI
- On PyPI, open the
hsluvproject's Manage → Publishing page and configure a GitHub Trusted Publisher: ownerhsluv, repositoryhsluv-python, workflowpublish.yml. - Update
__version__inhsluv.pyto an unused version (e.g.5.0.5rc1for a pre-release) and push the commit to the branch you want to publish. - Open Actions → Publish to PyPI → Run workflow, select that branch, and run it to build and upload to production PyPI. No tag or GitHub release is needed.
- Verify the release on PyPI. Published versions cannot be reused.
