This project has been modified from the original to be smaller for use with mobile frameworks
TinyColor is a small, fast library for color manipulation and conversion in JavaScript. It allows many forms of input, while providing color conversions and other color utility functions. It has no dependencies.
Download tinycolor.js or install it with bower:
bower install tinycolor
Then just include it in the page in a script tag:
<script type='text/javascript' src='tinycolor.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var color = tinycolor("red");
</script>tinycolor may also be included as a node module like so:
npm install tinycolor2
Then it can be used in your script like so:
var tinycolor = require("tinycolor2");
var color = tinycolor("red");Call tinycolor(input) or new tinycolor(input), and you will have an object with the following properties. See Accepted String Input and Accepted Object Input below for more information about what is accepted.
The string parsing is very permissive. It is meant to make typing a color as input as easy as possible. All commas, percentages, parenthesis are optional, and most input allow either 0-1, 0%-100%, or 0-n (where n is either 100, 255, or 360 depending on the value).
HSL and HSV both require either 0%-100% or 0-1 for the S/L/V properties. The H (hue) can have values between 0%-100% or 0-360.
RGB input requires either 0-255 or 0%-100%.
If you call tinycolor.fromRatio, RGB and Hue input can also accept 0-1.
Here are some examples of string input:
tinycolor("#000");
tinycolor("000");
tinycolor("#369C");
tinycolor("369C");
tinycolor("#f0f0f6");
tinycolor("f0f0f6");
tinycolor("#f0f0f688");
tinycolor("f0f0f688");tinycolor("rgb (255, 0, 0)");
tinycolor("rgb 255 0 0");
tinycolor("rgba (255, 0, 0, .5)");
tinycolor({ r: 255, g: 0, b: 0 });
tinycolor.fromRatio({ r: 1, g: 0, b: 0 });
tinycolor.fromRatio({ r: .5, g: .5, b: .5 });tinycolor("hsl(0, 100%, 50%)");
tinycolor("hsla(0, 100%, 50%, .5)");
tinycolor("hsl(0, 100%, 50%)");
tinycolor("hsl 0 1.0 0.5");
tinycolor({ h: 0, s: 1, l: .5 });
tinycolor.fromRatio({ h: 1, s: 0, l: 0 });
tinycolor.fromRatio({ h: .5, s: .5, l: .5 });tinycolor("hsv(0, 100%, 100%)");
tinycolor("hsva(0, 100%, 100%, .5)");
tinycolor("hsv (0 100% 100%)");
tinycolor("hsv 0 1 1");
tinycolor({ h: 0, s: 100, v: 100 });
tinycolor.fromRatio({ h: 1, s: 0, v: 0 });
tinycolor.fromRatio({ h: .5, s: .5, v: .5 });tinycolor("RED");
tinycolor("blanchedalmond");
tinycolor("darkblue");If you are calling this from code, you may want to use object input. Here are some examples of the different types of accepted object inputs:
{ r: 255, g: 0, b: 0 }
{ r: 255, g: 0, b: 0, a: .5 }
{ h: 0, s: 100, l: 50 }
{ h: 0, s: 100, v: 100 }
Returns the format used to create the tinycolor instance
var color = tinycolor("red");
color.getFormat(); // "name"
color = tinycolor({r:255, g:255, b:255});
color.getFormat(); // "rgb"Returns the input passed into the constructer used to create the tinycolor instance
var color = tinycolor("red");
color.getOriginalInput(); // "red"
color = tinycolor({r:255, g:255, b:255});
color.getOriginalInput(); // "{r: 255, g: 255, b: 255}"Return a boolean indicating whether the color was successfully parsed. Note: if the color is not valid then it will act like black when being used with other methods.
var color1 = tinycolor("red");
color1.isValid(); // true
color1.toHexString(); // "#ff0000"
var color2 = tinycolor("not a color");
color2.isValid(); // false
color2.toString(); // "#000000"Returns the perceived brightness of a color, from 0-255, as defined by Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (Version 1.0).

Print to a string, depending on the input format. You can also override this by passing one of "rgb", "prgb", "hex6", "hex3", "hex8", "name", "hsl", "hsv" into the function.
var color1 = tinycolor("red");
color1.toString(); // "red"
color1.toString("hsv"); // "hsv(0, 100%, 100%)"
var color2 = tinycolor("rgb(255, 0, 0)");
color2.toString(); // "rgb(255, 0, 0)"
color2.setAlpha(.5);
color2.toString(); // "rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.5)"These methods manipulate the current color, and return it for chaining. For instance:
tinycolor("red").lighten().desaturate().toHexString() // "#f53d3d"lighten: function(amount = 10) -> TinyColor. Lighten the color a given amount, from 0 to 100. Providing 100 will always return white.

tinycolor("#f00").lighten(100).toString(); // "#ffffff"brighten: function(amount = 10) -> TinyColor. Brighten the color a given amount, from 0 to 100.
tinycolor("#f00").brighten().toString(); // "#ff1919"darken: function(amount = 10) -> TinyColor. Darken the color a given amount, from 0 to 100. Providing 100 will always return black.

tinycolor("#f00").desaturate(100).toString(); // "#808080"saturate: function(amount = 10) -> TinyColor. Saturate the color a given amount, from 0 to 100.
tinycolor("hsl(0, 10%, 50%)").saturate().toString(); // "hsl(0, 20%, 50%)"greyscale: function() -> TinyColor. Completely desaturates a color into greyscale. Same as calling desaturate(100).
tinycolor("#f00").greyscale().toString(); // "#808080"spin: function(amount = 0) -> TinyColor. Spin the hue a given amount, from -360 to 360. Calling with 0, 360, or -360 will do nothing (since it sets the hue back to what it was before).
tinycolor("#f00").spin(180).toString(); // "#00ffff"
tinycolor("#f00").spin(-90).toString(); // "#7f00ff"
tinycolor("#f00").spin(90).toString(); // "#80ff00"
// spin(0) and spin(360) do nothing
tinycolor("#f00").spin(0).toString(); // "#ff0000"
tinycolor("#f00").spin(360).toString(); // "#ff0000"Combination functions return an array of TinyColor objects unless otherwise noted.

readability: function(TinyColor, TinyColor) -> Object.
Returns the contrast ratio between two colors.
tinycolor.readability("#000", "#000"); // 1
tinycolor.readability("#000", "#111"); // 1.1121078324840545
tinycolor.readability("#000", "#fff"); // 21Use the values in your own calculations, or use one of the convenience functions below.
isReadable: function(TinyColor, TinyColor, Object) -> Boolean. Ensure that foreground and background color combinations meet WCAG guidelines. Object is optional, defaulting to {level: "AA",size: "small"}. level can be "AA" or "AAA" and size can be "small" or "large".
Here are links to read more about the AA and AAA requirements.
tinycolor.isReadable("#000", "#111", {}); // false
tinycolor.isReadable("#ff0088", "#5c1a72",{level:"AA",size:"small"}); //false

Given a base color and a list of possible foreground or background colors for that base, returns the most readable color.
If none of the colors in the list is readable, mostReadable will return the better of black or white if includeFallbackColors:true.
tinycolor.mostReadable("#000", ["#f00", "#0f0", "#00f"]).toHexString(); // "#00ff00"

clone: function() -> TinyColor.
Instantiate a new TinyColor object with the same color. Any changes to the new one won't affect the old one.
var color1 = tinycolor("#F00");
var color2 = color1.clone();
color2.setAlpha(.5);
color1.toString(); // "#ff0000"
color2.toString(); // "rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.5)"
