Chroma

Introduction

This repository contains chroma, a small Emacs Lisp package providing various functions to manipulate colors.

While Emacs contains a builtin color package, it has several shortcomings:

• Functions are hard to combine because colors are usually returned as lists but passed as separate arguments.
• The representation of RGB color components as floating point values between 0.0 and 1.0 is unusual and annoying to work with.
• There is no support for HSL color strings.
• Results are not what you would expect. For example converting #cc241d to HSL yields a hue of 0.006666666666666636 (e.g. 0°) instead of 2°.

The chroma package aims to be easier to use.

Licensing

The chroma package is open source software distributed under the ISC license.
