📚Practical Guide
Color Models and Spaces
Color conversion handles transformation between different color models: RGB (Red-Green-Blue additive color for screens using 0-255 values per channel), HSL (Hue 0-360°, Saturation/Lightness 0-100% perceptual model), HSV/HSB (Hue-Saturation-Value/Brightness alternative cylindrical model), CMYK (Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-Key subtractive color for printing), HWB (Hue-Whiteness-Blackness intuitive mixing model), LAB (L* lightness, a* green-red,
Format Parsing and Validation
The tool parses diverse color input formats through regex-based extraction and validation. Supported syntaxes include: HEX with optional hash (#RGB, #RRGGBB, #RRGGBBAA), CSS functional notation (rgb(), rgba(), hsl(), hsla(), hwb(), lab(), lch()), legacy formats (rgb(255 255 255), hsl(180deg 50% 50%)), CSS Color Level 4 (rgb(100% 50% 0), oklch(), oklab()), and named colors (case-insensitive CSS keywords).
Color Harmony and Accessibility
The tool generates color schemes based on color theory: complementary colors (180° hue rotation), analogous colors (±30° hue), triadic (120° spacing), tetradic/square (90° spacing), split-complementary, and monochromatic (same hue, varying lightness/saturation). It implements WCAG accessibility checking: calculating contrast ratios using relative luminance formula, validating against WCAG 2.1 levels (AA requires 4.5:1 for normal text,
