Package Exports
- color2k
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 (color2k) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

color2k
a color parsing and manipulation lib served in roughly 2kB or less (2.8kB to be more precise)
color2k is a color parsing and manipulation library with the objective of keeping the bundle size as small as possible while still satisfying all of your color manipulation needs in an sRGB space.
The bundle size is currently 2.8kB

Installation
npm i color2kor
yarn add color2kUsage
import { darken, transparentize } from 'color2k';
// e.g.
darken('blue', 0.1);
transparentize('red', 0.5);How so small?
There are two secrets that keep this lib especially small:
- Simplicity — only handles basic color manipulation functions
- Less branching in code — only support two color models as outputs, namely
rgbaandhsla
Why only rgba and hsla as outputs?
This lib was created with the use case of CSS-in-JS in mind. At the end of the day, all that matters is that the browser can understand the color string you gave it as a background-color.
Because only those two color models are supported, we don't have to add code to deal with optional alpha channels or converting to non-browser supported color models (e.g. CMYK).
We believe that this lib is sufficient for all of your color manipulation needs. If we're missing a feature, feel free to open an issue 😎.
