values.js

The lightness or darkness of a color is called its value. Tints are light values that are made by mixing a color with white, which increases lightness. Shades are dark values that are made by mixing a color with black, which reduces lightness.

Usage Example

var Values = require('values.js')
  , color = new Values('#0099ff');

console.log(color.hex)              // => "0099ff"
console.log(color.rgb)              // => {r:0, g:153, b:255}
console.log(color.hsl)              // => {h:204, s: 100, l: 50}

console.log(color.hexString())      // => "#0099ff"
console.log(color.rgbString())      // => "rgb(0, 153, 255)"
console.log(color.hslString())      // => "hsl(204, 100%, 50%)"

console.log(color.getBrightness())  // => 53

color.tints().forEach(function(tint) {
    console.log(tint);     // => [Values instance]
});

color.shades().forEach(function(shade) {
    console.log(shade);    // => [Values instance]
});

// tints, original color and shades
color.all().forEach(function(color) {
    console.log(color);   // => [Value instance]
});
