colorable


Colorable

Take a set color palette and get contrast values for every possible combination –
useful for finding safe color combinations with predefined colors
and includes pass/fail scores for the
WCAG accessibility guidelines.

Getting Started

npm i --save colorable

Usage

Pass an array of color strings or an object with color strings as values.

var colorable = require('colorable')

var colors = {
  red: 'red',
  green: 'green',
  blue: 'blue'
}

var result = colorable(colors, { compact: true, threshold: 0 })

Returns an array of colors with combinations for all other colors and their
WCAG contrast
values.

Accessibility object

Each key is a boolean value indicating if the color contrast meets the following criteria:


Options

compact

Type: Boolean (default: false)

If set to true, the result will be a smaller object that only includes hex value color strings, a name for each color (if an object is passed to the function), contrast, and accessibility values.
When set to false, the result also includes the entire harthur/color object for each color, which includes other properties and methods for color manipulation.

threshold

Type: Number (default: 0)

When set, the colorable function only returns combinations that have a contrast above this value. This is useful for only seeing combinations that pass a minimum contrast level.

uniq

Type: Boolean (default: true)

When set to true, the array of colors is passed through lodash.uniq to remove duplicates.
