A valid rgb color is an object like this {r, g, b} with r, b, g numeric values in [0, 255].

Rgba

A valid rgba color is an object like this {r, g, b, a} with r, g, b numeric values in [0, 255] and a in [0, 1].

Hsl

A valid hsl color is an object like this {h, s, l} with:

• h (hue): [0-359]°
• s (saturation): [0-100]%
• l (lightness): [0-100]%.

Hsla

A valid hsl color is an object like this {h, s, l} with:

• h (hue): [0-359]°
• s (saturation): [0-100]%
• l (lightness): [0-100]%

Specific functions by color format

Then there are more specific color format functions. You can also convert a Color to a redeable string format or a CSS string format. Go here to take a look at the complete API.

Other useful functions

• name(color: Color): string: given a color (hex, rgb, rgba, hsl, hsla, cmyk), it returns the name of that color. It works using a list of 18315 unique color names.

• mix(colors: Color[], weights?: number[]): rgb: mix two or more colors based on their weights.

• randomHex(): HEX: return a random hex.
