[![License](https://badgen.net/badge/license/MIT/blue)](https://codeberg.org/Fundevogel/farben/src/branch/main/LICENSE) [![PyPI](https://badgen.net/pypi/v/farben)](https://pypi.org/project/farben) [![Build](https://ci.codeberg.org/api/badges/Fundevogel/farben/status.svg)](https://codeberg.org/Fundevogel/farben/issues)



This library provides an easy way to generate **color palettes**:



> In computer graphics, a palette is a finite set of colors.

> — Wikipedia article '[Palette (Computing)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palette_(computing))'



.. often referred to as **Swatches** (as branded by [Adobe Inc.](https://www.adobe.com)):



> *Swatches* are named colors, tints, gradients, and patterns.

> — [Adobe Illustrator](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/using-creating-swatches.html)



.. featuring the following (proprietary) color spaces:



- [PANTONE®](https://www.pantone.com)

- [RAL®](https://www.ral-farben.de)

- [Dulux®](https://www.dulux.com.au)

- [Copic®](https://www.copicmarker.com)

- [NCS®](https://ncscolour.com)

- [HKS®](https://www.hks-farben.de)

- [Prismacolor®](https://www.prismacolor.com)



For now, `farben` creates master palettes for use in



- [Scribus](https://www.scribus.net) (XML)

- [GIMP](https://www.gimp.org) (GPL)

- [AutoCAD](https://www.autodesk.com/products/autocad) (ACB)

- [Inkscape](https://inkscape.org) (GPL)

- [Krita](https://krita.org) (GPL)

- [LibreOffice](https://www.libreoffice.org) (SOC)



## Installation



It's available from [PyPi](https://pypi.org/project/farben):



```bash

# Using 'pip'

pip install farben



# Using 'poetry'

poetry add farben

```



## Getting started



Using this library is straightforward  - otherwise, `--help` is your friend:



```text

$ farben fetch --help

## FAQ



**Q: But where do all those files go?**

**A:** That depends, ..

- .. `.xml` files may be loaded individually with `Edit - Colours & Fills - Solid Colours - Import` (Scribus)

- .. `.soc` files belong here:

  - `~\AppData\Roaming\libreoffice\3\user` (Windows + PowerShell, otherwise `%userprofile%`)

  - `~/Library/Application Support/libreoffice/4/user/config` (Mac)

  - `~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/config` (Linux)

- .. installing `.gpl` files boils down to:

  - moving them to any path specified in `Edit - Preferences - Folders - Palettes` (GIMP)

  - moving them to `palettes` under directory specified in `Edit - Preferences - System - User Config` (Inkscape)

  - importing them using the [palette docker](https://docs.krita.org/en/reference_manual/dockers/palette_docker.html) (Krita)

- .. installing `.acb` files is [pretty straightforward](https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2016/ENU/AutoCAD-Core/files/GUID-17E00AB3-3065-4F1B-A1C3-C4963396D2CB-htm.html)



## Color samples



If you are looking for a quick way to browse PANTONE® colors, check out the [Pantone Finder](https://github.com/picorana/Pantone_finder) package or [visit their website](https://picorana.github.io/Pantone_finder) to get started.



Once you retrieved color palettes, you can



- view them using PHP like this: `cd examples/{brand} && php -S localhost:8000`

- view static HTML page like this: `cd examples && python build.py`



When clicking on a color tile, its hex value is copied to your clipboard (powered by [clipboard.js](https://github.com/zenorocha/clipboard.js)).
