panda-color 0.1.1

A color library that supports RGB with swizzling and will support hex and hsv in the future

PandaColor

A lightweight and extensible Python color library.

PandaColor provides a unified interface for working with colors in multiple formats (RGB, Hex, HSV, HSL, etc.).
It supports GLSL-style swizzling, conversions between color spaces, and convenient utilities for manipulation such as lighten, darken, invert, grayscale, and saturation adjustments.

Features

• RGB support with:
  • Initialization from ints, strings, or iterables
  • GLSL-style swizzling (color.rgb, color.rg, color.gbr, etc.)
• Conversions between:
  • RGB ↔ Hex
  • RGB ↔ HSV
  • RGB ↔ HSL
• Manipulation methods:
  • lighten, darken, invert, grayscale
  • saturate, desaturate, adjust_hue
• Utilities:
  • to_tuple(), to_list(), to_dict()
  • CSS output (css_rgb(), css_rgba())
  • Normalized floats [0.0, 1.0]

Installation

Install from PyPI:

pip install pandacolor

Or install from source:

git clone https://github.com/ColinThePanda/pandacolor.git
cd pandacolor
pip install .

Usage

from pandacolor import RGB

# Initialize with ints
c1 = RGB(255, 128, 0)

# Initialize from iterable
c2 = RGB([0, 255, 128])

# Initialize from string
c3 = RGB("64, 128, 255")

# Swizzling
print(c1.r)      # 255
print(c1.g)      # 128
print(c1.rgb)    # (255, 128, 0)
print(c1.rg)     # (255, 128)

# Convert to Hex
print(c1.to_hex())  # Hex(#ff8000)

# Manipulation
lighter = c1.lighten(0.3)
darker = c1.darken(0.5)
inverted = c1.invert()

# CSS format
print(c1.css_rgb())       # rgb(255, 128, 0)
print(c1.css_rgba(0.5))   # rgba(255, 128, 0, 0.5)
