# Colorizr
A modern color library focused on perceptual correctness and accessibility.
- 🏖 **Easy to use**: Works with Hex, HSL, RGB, OKLAB, and OKLCH.
- ♿️ **Accessibility**: WCAG 2.x contrast and APCA (WCAG 3.0) support.
- 🎨 **Design Systems**: Generate perceptual color scales with variants.
- 🖥 **Modern Displays**: P3 gamut optimization and OkLCH operations.
- 🟦 **TypeScript**: Full type safety, zero dependencies.
📖 **[Official Website](https://gilbarbara.github.io/colorizr)**
## Setup
```bash
npm i colorizr
```
## Generating Scales & Palettes
Build design system color scales with customizable variants:
```typescript
import { scale, palette, scheme } from 'colorizr';
scale('#3366ff');
// { 50: '#f0f5ff', 100: '#e4edff', ..., 900: '#06009a', 950: '#020052' }
palette('#ff0044');
// ['#ff0044', '#ffbb00', '#44ff00', '#00ffbb', '#0044ff', '#bb00ff']
scheme('#ff0044', 'triadic');
// ['#ff0044', '#44ff00', '#0044ff']
```
## Accessibility & Contrast
Analyze contrast ratios and find readable text colors:
```typescript
import { contrast, readableColor, compare, apcaContrast } from 'colorizr';
contrast('#1a1a2e', '#ffffff'); // 17.05
readableColor('#ff0044'); // '#ffffff'
apcaContrast('#000000', '#ffffff'); // 106.04067
compare('#ff0044', '#ffffff');
// { contrast: 3.94, normalAA: false, largeAA: true, ... }
```
## Manipulating Colors
Adjust lightness, saturation, hue, and opacity:
```typescript
import { lighten, darken, saturate, mix, rotate } from 'colorizr';
lighten('#ff0044', 20); // '#ff668f'
darken('#ff0044', 10); // '#cc0036'
rotate('#ff0044', 180); // '#00ffbb'
mix('#ff0044', '#0066ff'); // '#bc34d7'
mix('#ff0044', '#0066ff', 0.5, { space: 'hsl' }); // '#aa00ff'
```
## Converting Colors
Convert between all supported color spaces:
```typescript
import { convertCSS, hex2oklch, parseCSS } from 'colorizr';
convertCSS('#ff0044', 'oklch'); // 'oklch(63.269% 0.25404 19.902)'
convertCSS('#ff0044', 'hsl'); // 'hsl(344 100% 50%)'
hex2oklch('#ff0044');
// { l: 0.63269, c: 0.25404, h: 19.90224 }
parseCSS('hsl(344 100% 50%)');
// { h: 344, s: 100, l: 50 }
```
## Class API
Create an instance to work with a single color:
```typescript
import Colorizr from 'colorizr';
const color = new Colorizr('#ff0044');
color.luminance; // 0.2168
color.chroma; // 1
color.readableColor; // '#ffffff'
color.lighten(20); // '#ff668f'
color.mix('#0066ff'); // '#bc34d7'
```
