= sassafras
* http://www.elctech.com/projects/instant-sass-color-palettes-with-sassafras
== DESCRIPTION:
After spending hours copying and pasting hex values into my Sass stylesheets,
I knew there had to be a better way. Enter Sassafras, the Sass color scheme
generator.
Sassafras will generate any of the following types of color schemes and create
logically-named Sass variables for varying lightnesses:
* basic
* complementary
* analogous
* triadic
* split complementary
* rectangle
* square
== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:
== SYNOPSIS:
Generate basic variants of red:
$ sassafras -b red
# Generated by Sassafras
# base
!base_light = #ff8080
!base_darkest = #1a0000
!base_dark = #800000
!base_darker = #4d0000
!base_lightest = #ffe6e6
!base_mid = #ff0000
!base_lighter = #ffb3b3
Generate basic variants of red and green:
$ sassafras -t complementary -b red
Sassafras can also generate an HTML reference sheet with color swatches:
$ sassafras -t split_complementary -b blue -f html
For more information on the various types of color schemes supported by Sassafras,
please see the color theory tutorial on which Sassafras was based at http://www.tigercolor.com/color-lab/color-theory/color-theory-intro.htm
