## Installation

Add the Radix Colors package to pubspec.yaml

```yaml
dependencies:
radix_colors: ^1.0.3
```

Import the package in your dart file

```dart
import 'package:radix_colors/radix_colors.dart';
```

## Usage

Radix Colors provides 15 color scales, designed for white foreground text at step 9.

### Light color variant

```dart
RadixColors.amber;
```

### Dark color variant

```dart
RadixColors.dark.amber;
```

### Dynamic color for auto light/dark theme

```dart
RadixColorsDynamic(context).amber;
```

### 12 Colors steps/shades

```dart
RadixColors.amber.step1;
RadixColors.amber.step2;
RadixColors.amber.step3;
RadixColors.amber.step4;
RadixColors.amber.step5;
RadixColors.amber.step6;
RadixColors.amber.step7;
RadixColors.amber.step8;
RadixColors.amber.step9;
RadixColors.amber.step10;
RadixColors.amber.step11;
RadixColors.amber.step12;
```

### There are 12 steps in each scale. Each step was designed for at least one specific use case.

| Step | Use case |
| ---- | ------------------------------------- |
| 1 | App background |
| 2 | Subtle background |
| 3 | UI element background |
| 4 | Hovered UI element background |
| 5 | Active Selected UI element background |
| 6 | Subtle borders and separators |
| 7 | UI element border and focus rings |
| 8 | Hovered UI element border |
| 9 | Solid backgrounds |
| 10 | Hovered solid backgrounds |
| 11 | Low-contrast text |
| 12 | High-contrast text |

### Steps `1` and `2` are designed for app backgrounds and subtle component backgrounds. You can use them interchangeably, depending on the vibe you're going for.

Appropriate applications include:

- Main app background
- Striped table background
- Code block background
- Card background
- Sidebar background
- Canvas area background

### Steps `3`, `4`, and `5` are designed for UI component backgrounds.

- Step `3` is for normal states.
- Step `4` is for hover states.
- Step `5` is for pressed or selected states.

Even if your component has a transparent background in its default state, you should skip Step `3` and use Step `4` for its hover state.

For call-to-action components that you want to draw particular attention to, you can bump each color one step higher to steps `4`, `5`, and `6`.

For complex components where you need many subtle colors to communicate different meanings, you can get creative and do something like:

- Step `3` for hovered backgrounds.
- Step `4` for selected / pressed backgrounds.
- Step `5` for "unread" backgrounds.
- Step `6` for hovered "unread" backgrounds.

### Steps `6`, `7`, and `8` are designed for borders.

- Step `6` is designed for subtle borders on components which are not interactive. For example sidebars, headers, cards, alerts, and separators.
- Step `7` is designed for borders on interactive components, but can also be used for focus rings.
- Step `8` is designed for borders on interactive components in their hover state.

### Steps `9` and `10` are designed for solid backgrounds.

Step `9` has the highest chroma of all steps in the scale. In other words, it's the purest step, the step mixed with the least amount of white or black. Because `9` is the purest step, it has a wide range of applications:

- Website/App backgrounds
- Website section backgrounds
- Header backgrounds
- Component backgrounds
- Graphics/Logos
- Overlays
- Coloured shadows
- Accent borders

### Step `10` is designed for component hover states, where step `9` is the component's normal state background.

Most step 9 colors are designed for white foreground text. `RadixColors.sky`, `RadixColors.mint`,
`RadixColors.lime`, `RadixColors.yellow`, and `RadixColors.amber` are designed for black foreground text and steps
`9` and `10`.

### Steps `11` and `12` are designed for text.

- Step `11` is designed for low-contrast text.
- Step `12` is designed for high-contrast text.
