  • Opacity/transparency control
  • Automatic dark and light variant generation
  • Background color compositing for transparent colors

Installation

Install using pip:

pip install bycolors

Quick Start

Each color is a tuple provided by the ColorClass. The color class provides a number of methods for color manipulation. 

from bycolors import colors as byc

# Basic color usage
blue = byc.blue
yellow = byc.yellow

# Color variants
dark_blue = blue.dark
light_yellow = yellow.light

# Custom brightness
custom_blue = blue.brightness(0.7)  # 70% brightness
very_dark = blue.absolute_brightness(0.2)  # 20% absolute brightness

# Transparency
semi_transparent = blue.opacity(0.5)
fully_transparent = blue.transparent

# Color format conversion
# here for illustration blue is a perfect blue (#0000FF)
rgb_values = blue.rgb        # (0, 0, 1)
rgba_values = blue.rgba      # (0, 0, 1, 1)
hex_value = blue.hex         # "#0000FF"

# Custom background for transparent colors
blue_on_white = blue.opacity(0.5, background_color=(1, 1, 1)).rgb  # (0.5, 0.5, 1)
