Synopsis

colourist is a small library for PHP 5.6+ that helps ease working with colours and colour transformations., _(*4)

Installation

$ composer require mscharley/colourist

Usage

$colour = \Colourist\Colour::fromHex('#ffccaa');

// Automatically conversions to calculate values you need.
$h = $colour->hue(); 
$l = $colour->lightness();
$b = $colour->brightness();

// Distinguish between different types of saturation.
$sl = $colour->hslSaturation();
$sb = $colour->hsbSaturation();

// Explicit conversions if you need them. 
$hsl = $colour->toHSL();
$sl == $hsl->saturation();
// Colours are immutable - conversions are highly cached as a result.

// Freely convert between colour spaces as required.
$hsb = $colour->toHSB();
$colour->equals($hsb->toRGB()); // TRUE

Gotchas

$colour = \Colourist\Colour::fromHex('#ffccaa');
$colour2 = \Colourist\Colour::fromHex('#aaccff');

// You must use ->equals() for comparing equality.
$colour->equals($colour2); // FALSE
$colour == $colour2; // stack overflow
