JavaScript library for color conversions

Package Exports

  • chroma-js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (chroma-js) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Chroma.js

Chroma.js is a tiny JavaScript library (12kB) for all kinds of color conversions and color scales.

Build Status

Usage

Initiate and manipulate colors:

chroma('#D4F880').darken().hex();  // #9BC04B

Working with color scales is easy, too:

scale = chroma.scale(['white', 'red']);
scale(0.5).hex(); // #FF7F7F

Lab/Lch interpolation looks better than RGB

chroma.scale(['white', 'red']).mode('lab');

Custom domains! Quantiles! Color Brewer!!

chroma.scale('RdYlBu').domain(myValues, 7, 'quantiles');

And why not use logarithmic color scales once in your life?

chroma.scale(['lightyellow', 'navy']).domain([1, 100000], 7, 'log');

Like it?

Why not dive into the API docs (quite short actually), and download chroma.min.js right away.

You can use it in node.js, too!

npm install chroma-js

Build instructions
