Javascript color manipulation
Posted by admin | Filed under MadeByPi® Labs
Recently I needed to write some code which involved matching any given colour against a custom palette of colours. I found it hard to find any decent javascript out there... So I wrote my own.
Introducing: Color Utils
Main features:
- Convert any colour format to any other colour format
- Match colours against a custom palette
- Match colours against a websafe palette
- Increase/decrease Hue, Saturation and Brightness of a colour
- Find different colour harmonies for a color
- Fade from one colour to another
- Easy to use
- No dependancies such as prototype or jQuery
- Small file size. Just 11kb!
Hello, thanks for this – it’s an excellent, concisely presented library. Could you please comment on the license you’re distributing it under as I’d like to use it for a website I’m building.
Thanks.
Hi Michael,
Sorry for the late reply – I’ve only just found out about this comment.
I’d like to use a BSD-style licence on this work so you’re free to use it in commercial work.
I’ll update the docs with proper licence information soon – for now I’ll leave you with a limerick.

… “[var] grey” should be changed to “red” on first
line at .greyscale() example — yay!
Hi yeah, thanks for that ben – I’ll get that fixed.
Hi, can it be used to convert CMYK Image to RGB?
