webcolors 1.5

A library for working with color names and color value formats defined by the HTML and CSS specifications for use in documents on the Web.

webcolors is a simple Python module for working with HTML/CSS color definitions.

Support is included for normalizing and converting between the following formats (RGB colorspace only; conversion to/from HSL can be handled by the colorsys module in the Python standard library):

• Specification-defined color names

• Six-digit hexadecimal

• Three-digit hexadecimal

• Integer rgb() triplet

• Percentage rgb() triplet

For example:

>>> import webcolors
>>> webcolors.hex_to_name(u'#daa520')
u'goldenrod'

Implementations are also provided for the HTML5 color parsing and serialization algorithms. For example, parsing the infamous “chucknorris” string into an rgb() triplet:

>>> import webcolors
>>> webcolors.html5_parse_legacy_color(u'chucknorris')
(192, 0, 0)
