Color shades generator

Kleur: HSLuv based color utils & theme generators

I'd like to give special credits to Alexei Boronine and everyone else who contributed to the HSLuv project. This work provided the fundaments to build this package on (and is the only dependency used in it).

Installation

pip install kleur

Library usage

When used as a dependency the kleur package contains convenience wrappers around the HSLuv Python API, as well as utilities for styling console ouput built on top of it.

(API reference to be added)

Based on one input color

$ kleur css -l tables -c 7ab1e5

With input markers:

$ kleur css -l tables -c 7ab1e5 -i

Based on two input colors

The dynamic range specifies to what degree the hue of the input colors will be used as boundaries:

• Dynamic range 0 (0%):

  The shades will interpolate (or extrapolate) between the input colors.

• Dynamic range between 0 and 1 (between 0% and 100%):

  The shades will interpolate (or extrapolate) between darker / brighter shades of the input colors.

• Dynamic range 1 (100%):

  The shades will interpolate between the darkest & brightest shades of the input colors.

$ kleur css -l bad-guy -c badddd -k aa601f -d 66

With input markers, varying in dynamic range:

$ kleur css -l bad-guy -c badddd -k aa601f -d 0 -i

$ kleur css -l bad-guy -c badddd -k aa601f -d 50 -i

$ kleur css -l bad-guy -c badddd -k aa601f -d 100 -i
