colorify

Colorify is a collection of color tools that comes in three forms: a website, a command line tool, and a node.js library:

1. Website

The website is built on react, and contains a few toy apps that can manipulate and display colors.

• Colorify: Page: Home
• Colorify: Page: About
• Colorify: App: Stats
• Colorify: App: Mixer
• Colorify: App: Math

2. Command Line Tool

The cli can be installed by running npm install -g colorify. This will add colorify to your PATH. For the command line options, you can run colorify --help:

3. Node.js Library

In it's current state, this is a pretty lame node.js library. All it does is expose access to some other helpful color libraries and includes a few helper functions that were needed for the colorify website. The libraries that are included are:

• color
• color-blind
• color-harmony
• color-quantize
• color-scheme
• color-stats
• colorconverter
• colorname
• onecolor

You can install the library by running npm install colorify and use it:

var colorify = require('colorify');
console.log(Object.keys(colorify.lib)); // outputs:
                                        // [
                                        //   'color',
                                        //   'colorBlind',
                                        //   'colorHarmony',
                                        //   'colorQuantize',
                                        //   'colorScheme',
                                        //   'colorStats',
                                        //   'colorConverter',
                                        //   'colorName',
                                        //   'onecolor'
                                        // ]
