# Sass Material Colors [](http://badge.fury.io/gh/minusfive%2Fsass-material-colors)
An easy way to use Google's [Material Design color palette](http://www.google.com/design/spec/style/color.html#color-color-palette) on your Sass project.
[](http://badge.fury.io/rb/sass-material-colors) [](http://badge.fury.io/bo/sass-material-colors) [](http://badge.fury.io/js/sass-material-colors)
## Installation
Sass Material Colors can be included as a [Ruby Gem](#ruby-gem), a [Bower component](#bower-component), or a [Node Packaged Module (npm)](#npm).
### Ruby Gem
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
```bash
$ gem 'sass-material-colors'
```
And then execute:
```bash
$ bundle
```
Or install it yourself as:
```bash
$ gem install sass-material-colors
```
### Bower Component
Install `sass-material-colors` as a development dependency:
```bash
$ bower install --save-dev sass-material-colors
```
### Node Packaged Module (npm)
Install `sass-material-colors` as a development dependency:
```bash
$ npm install --save-dev sass-material-colors
```
## Usage
Import the colors map + function to your project:
```sass
// Sass
@import 'sass-material-colors'
```
If you're using Bower or npm, you may need to use the relative path to the main file, e.g.:
```sass
// Sass
// Bower
@import 'bower_components/sass-material-colors/sass/sass-material-colors'
// npm
@import 'node_modules/sass-material-colors/sass/sass-material-colors'
```
By importing this file, a `$material-colors` [Sass map](http://sass-lang.com/documentation/file.SASS_REFERENCE.html#maps) will be added to your Sass project, with all the colors from Google's [palette](http://www.google.com/design/spec/style/color.html#color-color-palette), as well as a [`material-color` function](#the-material-color-function), making it easy for you to reference any color in the spec from your stylesheets.
Optionally, you can import a list of [placeholder selectors](#predefined-sass-placeholder-selectors) and/or [classes](#predefined-classes).
### The `material-color` Function
The `material-color` function allows you to easily reference any color in the `_sass-material-colors-map.scss` file in your styles:
```sass
// Sass
.my-cool-element
color: material-color('cyan', '400')
background: material-color('blue-grey', '600')
```
The `material-color` function takes 2 parameters:
##### `$color-name` String (quoted), Required
> Lower-case, dasherized color name from Google's [palette](http://www.google.com/design/spec/style/color.html#color-color-palette) (e.g. `'pink'`, `'amber'`, `'blue-grey'`, `'deep-orange'`, etc.)
##### `$color-variant` String (quoted), Optional [Default value: `500`]
> Lower-case color variant number/code from Google's [palette](http://www.google.com/design/spec/style/color.html#color-color-palette) (e.g. `'300'`, `'200'`, `'a100'`, `'a400'`, etc.)
It's important for these parameters to be quoted strings, in order to maintain compatibility with [Libsass](https://github.com/sass/libsass).
### Predefined Sass Placeholder Selectors
You can include a list of [extendable](http://sass-lang.com/documentation/file.SASS_REFERENCE.html#extend) Sass [placeholder selectors](http://sass-lang.com/documentation/file.SASS_REFERENCE.html#placeholder_selectors_) in your project by importing the `sass-material-colors-placeholders` [file](sass/_sass-material-colors-placeholders.scss) into your Sass/Scss:
```sass
// Sass
@import 'sass-material-colors-placeholders'
```
This will add a `%color-...` and `%bg-color-...` [placeholder selector](http://sass-lang.com/documentation/file.SASS_REFERENCE.html#placeholder_selectors_) for each color name and variant found in Google's [palette](http://www.google.com/design/spec/style/color.html#color-color-palette) to your project, which you can then extend in your stylesheets like so:
```sass
// Sass
.my-cool-element
@extend %color-cyan-400
@extend %bg-color-blue-grey-600
```
### Predefined Classes
You can include a list of predefined classes in your project by importing the `sass-material-colors-classes` [file](sass/_sass-material-colors-classes.scss) into your Sass/Scss:
```sass
// Sass
@import 'sass-material-colors-classes'
```
This will add a `.color-...` and `.bg-color-...` class for each color name and variant found in Google's [palette](http://www.google.com/design/spec/style/color.html#color-color-palette) to your stylesheets, which you can then use directly in your markup like so:
```html
```
