color 4.2.3

The npm package named "color" is a JavaScript library that allows for immutable color conversion and manipulation with support for CSS color strings. This powerful library enables web developers to conveniently switch between various color models such as RGB, HSL, CMKY, and many more. In addition, it provides color manipulation features like lightening, darkening, or modifying saturation and hue.

Installation and usage of the color package are straightforward. It can be installed with the npm command npm install color. Once installed, it needs to be required at the top of your JavaScript file with const Color = require('color').

There are multiple ways to create a new color instance:

const color = Color('rgb(255, 255, 255)') // using a string
const color = Color({r: 255, g: 255, b: 255}) // using an object
const color = Color.rgb(255, 255, 255) // using a method
const color = Color.rgb([255, 255, 255]) // using an array

You can then use various methods to manipulate and convert the color:

color.alpha(0.5).lighten(0.5); // Changes the alpha value and lightens the color
console.log(color.hsl().string());  // Returns color as hsla string

For more complex operations, many methods can be chained together:

color.green(100).grayscale().lighten(0.6);

The color library's comprehensive documentation can be found in the README on the GitHub page (https://github.com/Qix-/color.git). It provides extensive examples and explanations showing how you can leverage the color package to handle color conversions and manipulations in your JavaScript projects. The documentation also includes references to the constructors, getters, CSS Strings, luminosity, and manipulation methods available.
