Usage

Get started

You can define colors like below. Color equals RGBA color.

from pinkie import Color

color = Color('c0ffee') 

Initialize colors

You can create colors in different ways:

Color((244, 11, 58)) # rgb tuple, alpha is set to 255
Color((244, 11, 58, 215)) # rgba tuple
Color('#ff53a7') # hex value ('#' is automatically stripped)
Color('ff53a7f6') # hex value with alpha
Color(43252667) # int value
HSLA((259, 94, 47)).to_rgba() # hsl value
...

and define colors with another bit count per channel:

Color((34832, 632, 65103), bits=16) # rgb tuple
Color('ff53a7cc671a', bits=16) # hex value
Color('ff53a7cc671a12e3', bits=16) # hex value with alpha
...

Color conversions

Color models can be converted to RGBA and back:

Color('ff00ff').to_hsla() 
Color('157cc3').to_cmyk()
HSLA('44c26b').to_rgba()
...

Color blending

You can blend colors like in Photoshop:

import pinkie.blend as blend
from pinkie import Color

bg = Color('ffd015ff')
fg = Color('ff15bd80')

bg.blend(fg, blend.Normal) # FF7269FF

and create your own blending mode:

class MyBlend(blend.BlendMode):
    def blend(self, bg: float, fg: float, bg_a: float, fg_a: float) -> float:
        return bg * fg

bg.blend(fg, MyBlend)

Harmonic colors

There are various methods to get harmonic colors:

color.complementary() # complementary color
color.triadic() # list of triadic colors
color.closest([Color('ffffff'), Color('000000')]) # closest color from the list
...

Color palettes

Palettes are just sequences of colors. You can manage them like this:

from pinkie import Color, Palette

palette = Palette([Color('ffffff'), Color('4c66a1')])
palette.add(Color('16c235'))
palette.remove(Color('ffffff'))

Palette.web() # palette of web-safe colors
Palette.gradient(Color('ff0000'), Color('0000ff'), 5) # palette of colors that create gradient from red to blue
...
