$ pip install --user colour-scienceThe detailed installation procedure for the secondary dependencies is described in the Installation Guide.
Colour is also available for Anaconda from Continuum Analytics via conda-forge:
$ conda install -c conda-forge colour-scienceThe static tutorial provides an introduction to Colour. An interactive version is available via Google Colab.
The Google Colab How-To guide for Colour shows various techniques to solve specific problems and highlights some interesting use cases.
If you would like to contribute to Colour, please refer to the following Contributing guide.
