riso-colors

A list of popular colors for Risograph printers, sourced from stencil.wiki/colors. Only includes colors with HEX, Pantone and Z-Type codes.

const colors = require('riso-colors');
 
// Print a random color
const color = colors[Math.floor(Math.random() * colors.length)];
console.log(color);

Each "color" is an object, like so:

{
  name: 'Marine Red',
  hex: '#d2515e',
  pantone: '186 U',
  zType: 'S-4281'
}

Scraping

You can scrape the JSON yourself from the stencil.wiki/colors website by pasting this in the console and executing it:

var result = Array.from($$('.color-meta')).map(el => {
  const hex = el.querySelector('.views-field-field-ink-color-hex .field-content').textContent.replace(/#/, '').toLowerCase();
  const pantoneEl = el.querySelector('.views-field-field-ink-color-pantone .field-content');
  const zTypeEl = el.querySelector('.views-field-field-article-z-type-part-number .field-content');
  const name = el.querySelector('.views-field-name a').textContent;
  if (!hex || !zTypeEl || !pantoneEl) return false;
  const pantone = pantoneEl ? pantoneEl.textContent.toUpperCase() : undefined;
  const zType = zTypeEl ? zTypeEl.textContent.toUpperCase() : undefined;
  return { name, hex: `#${hex}`, pantone, zType };
}).filter(Boolean);
console.dir(result);
copy(JSON.stringify(result, undefined, 2));

This will copy the formatted JSON to your clipboard.
