Colormath
Colormath is a Kotlin Multiplatform library that allows you to convert between a number of color spaces, and to parse CSS colors into any of the supported color spaces.
Supported color spaces
- RGB
- CMYK
- HSL
- HSV
- XYZ
- LAB
- LUV
- ANSI-16 color codes
- ANSI-256 color codes
Most conversions run in a single step. If there isn't a formula for a direct conversion between two color spaces, the color will first be converted to another form such as RGB and then to final color space.
Usage
Conversion
Each color space is represented with a data class, and contains .toXXX()
methods to convert to other spaces.
All color classes contain an alpha
channel, which defaults to 1
(fully opaque) for color spaces that don't support transparency (such as ANSI color codes).
> RGB("#adcdef").toHSV()
HSV(h=211, s=28, v=94)
> RGB(r=12, g=128, b=255, a=.5f).toCMYK()
CMYK(c=95, m=50, y=0, k=0, a=.5f)
> HSL(180, 50, 50).toHex()
"#40bfbf"
CSS Parsing and rendering
You can parse any color allowed by the CSS Color Module Levels 1 through 4.
> Color.fromCss("#ff009980")
RGB(r=255, g=0, b=153, a=.5)
> Color.fromCss("rgb(100%, 0%, 60%)")
RGB(r=255, g=0, b=153, a=1)
> Color.fromCss("rgb(1e2, .5e1, .5e0, +.25e2%)")
RGB(r=100, g=5, b=1, a=.25)
> Color.fromCss("hsl(.75turn, 60%, 70%)")
HSL(h=270, s=60, l=70, a=1)
> Color.fromCss("rebeccapurple").toHex()
"#663399"
You can also render any color in CSS rgb
or hsl
functional or whitespace notation
> RGB(255, 0, 128).toCssRgb()
"rgb(255, 0, 128)"
> RGB(255, 0, 128, .5f).toCssRgb(rgbStyle=PERCENT)
"rgb(100%, 0%, 50%, .5)"
> XYZ(25.0, 50.0, 75.0, .5f).toCssHsl(commas = false, hueUnit = RADIANS)
"hsl(3.1241rad 100% 44% / .5)"
Installation
Colormath is distributed through Maven Central.
dependencies {
implementation("com.github.ajalt.colormath:colormath:2.0.0")
}
In version 2.0, the maven coordinates changed. Make sure you're using the new coordinates if you're updating from an older version.
Multiplatform
Colormath supports the following targets: jvm
, mingwX64
, linuxX64
, macosX64
, ios
, watchos
, tvos
, and js
(for both NodeJS and Browsers). You'll need to use Gradle 6 or newer.
Snapshots
Snapshot builds are also available
You'll need to add the Sonatype snapshots repository:
repositories {
maven {
url = uri("https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/")
}
}
