Colorist

Colorist is a library built to handle the conversion, comparison, and manipulation of colors in Ruby projects with an emphasis on W3C standards and CSS-style hex notation. See the Color class for additional details on the available methods.

Example

require 'colorist'
include Colorist

gray = Color.new(0x333333)
gray + gray     # => #<Color #666666>
gray - "#333"   # => #<Color #000000>

gray.invert     # => #<Color #cccccc>
gray.brightness # => 0.2

gray.contrast_with("#f00")

Installation

First, make sure you have GemCutter set up:

gem install gemcutter
gem tumble

Then, grab the gem:

gem install slippyd-colorist

Last, add the requirement to your project and enjoy!

# in environment.rb, after "Rails::Initializer.run do |config|":
config.gem 'slippyd-colorist', :lib => false, :version => '0.0.5'

# in any class or module that you want to use Colorist:
