							- # color [](https://travis-ci.org/Qix-/color)
 
- > JavaScript library for immutable color conversion and manipulation with support for CSS color strings.
 
- ```js
 
- var color = Color('#7743CE').alpha(0.5).lighten(0.5);
 
- console.log(color.hsl().string());  // 'hsla(262, 59%, 81%, 0.5)'
 
- console.log(color.cmyk().round().array());  // [ 16, 25, 0, 8, 0.5 ]
 
- console.log(color.ansi256().object());  // { ansi256: 183, alpha: 0.5 }
 
- ```
 
- ## Install
 
- ```console
 
- $ npm install color
 
- ```
 
- ## Usage
 
- ```js
 
- var Color = require('color');
 
- ```
 
- ### Constructors
 
- ```js
 
- var color = Color('rgb(255, 255, 255)')
 
- var color = Color({r: 255, g: 255, b: 255})
 
- var color = Color.rgb(255, 255, 255)
 
- var color = Color.rgb([255, 255, 255])
 
- ```
 
- Set the values for individual channels with `alpha`, `red`, `green`, `blue`, `hue`, `saturationl` (hsl), `saturationv` (hsv), `lightness`, `whiteness`, `blackness`, `cyan`, `magenta`, `yellow`, `black`
 
- String constructors are handled by [color-string](https://www.npmjs.com/package/color-string)
 
- ### Getters
 
- ```js
 
- color.hsl();
 
- ```
 
- Convert a color to a different space (`hsl()`, `cmyk()`, etc.).
 
- ```js
 
- color.object(); // {r: 255, g: 255, b: 255}
 
- ```
 
- Get a hash of the color value. Reflects the color's current model (see above).
 
- ```js
 
- color.rgb().array()  // [255, 255, 255]
 
- ```
 
- Get an array of the values with `array()`. Reflects the color's current model (see above).
 
- ```js
 
- color.rgbNumber() // 16777215 (0xffffff)
 
- ```
 
- Get the rgb number value.
 
- ```js
 
- color.hex() // #ffffff
 
- ```
 
- Get the hex value.
 
- ```js
 
- color.red()       // 255
 
- ```
 
- Get the value for an individual channel.
 
- ### CSS Strings
 
- ```js
 
- color.hsl().string()  // 'hsl(320, 50%, 100%)'
 
- ```
 
- Calling `.string()` with a number rounds the numbers to that decimal place. It defaults to 1.
 
- ### Luminosity
 
- ```js
 
- color.luminosity();  // 0.412
 
- ```
 
- The [WCAG luminosity](http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#relativeluminancedef) of the color. 0 is black, 1 is white.
 
- ```js
 
- color.contrast(Color("blue"))  // 12
 
- ```
 
- The [WCAG contrast ratio](http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#contrast-ratiodef) to another color, from 1 (same color) to 21 (contrast b/w white and black).
 
- ```js
 
- color.isLight();  // true
 
- color.isDark();   // false
 
- ```
 
- Get whether the color is "light" or "dark", useful for deciding text color.
 
- ### Manipulation
 
- ```js
 
- color.negate()         // rgb(0, 100, 255) -> rgb(255, 155, 0)
 
- color.lighten(0.5)     // hsl(100, 50%, 50%) -> hsl(100, 50%, 75%)
 
- color.lighten(0.5)     // hsl(100, 50%, 0)   -> hsl(100, 50%, 0)
 
- color.darken(0.5)      // hsl(100, 50%, 50%) -> hsl(100, 50%, 25%)
 
- color.darken(0.5)      // hsl(100, 50%, 0)   -> hsl(100, 50%, 0)
 
- color.lightness(50)    // hsl(100, 50%, 10%) -> hsl(100, 50%, 50%)
 
- color.saturate(0.5)    // hsl(100, 50%, 50%) -> hsl(100, 75%, 50%)
 
- color.desaturate(0.5)  // hsl(100, 50%, 50%) -> hsl(100, 25%, 50%)
 
- color.grayscale()      // #5CBF54 -> #969696
 
- color.whiten(0.5)      // hwb(100, 50%, 50%) -> hwb(100, 75%, 50%)
 
- color.blacken(0.5)     // hwb(100, 50%, 50%) -> hwb(100, 50%, 75%)
 
- color.fade(0.5)     // rgba(10, 10, 10, 0.8) -> rgba(10, 10, 10, 0.4)
 
- color.opaquer(0.5)     // rgba(10, 10, 10, 0.8) -> rgba(10, 10, 10, 1.0)
 
- color.rotate(180)      // hsl(60, 20%, 20%) -> hsl(240, 20%, 20%)
 
- color.rotate(-90)      // hsl(60, 20%, 20%) -> hsl(330, 20%, 20%)
 
- color.mix(Color("yellow"))        // cyan -> rgb(128, 255, 128)
 
- color.mix(Color("yellow"), 0.3)   // cyan -> rgb(77, 255, 179)
 
- // chaining
 
- color.green(100).grayscale().lighten(0.6)
 
- ```
 
- ## Propers
 
- The API was inspired by [color-js](https://github.com/brehaut/color-js). Manipulation functions by CSS tools like Sass, LESS, and Stylus.
