color-convert

Color-convert is a color conversion library for JavaScript and node. It converts all ways between `rgb`, `hsl`, `hsv`, `hwb`, `cmyk`, `ansi`, `ansi16`, `hex` strings, and CSS `keyword`s (will round to closest):

var convert = require('color-convert');
convert.rgb.hsl(140, 200, 100); // [96, 48, 59]
convert.keyword.rgb('blue'); // [0, 0, 255]
var rgbChannels = convert.rgb.channels; // 3
var cmykChannels = convert.cmyk.channels; // 4
var ansiChannels = convert.ansi16.channels; // 1

# Install

$ npm install color-convert

# API

Simply get the property of the from and to conversion that you're looking for.

All functions have a rounded and unrounded variant. By default, return values are rounded. To get the unrounded (raw) results, simply tack on `.raw` to the function.

All 'from' functions have a hidden property called `.channels` that indicates the number of channels the function expects (not including alpha).

var convert = require('color-convert');
// Hex to LAB
convert.hex.lab('DEADBF'); // [ 76, 21, -2 ]
convert.hex.lab.raw('DEADBF'); // [ 75.56213190997677, 20.653827952644754, -2.290532499330533 ]
// RGB to CMYK
convert.rgb.cmyk(167, 255, 4); // [ 35, 0, 98, 0 ]
convert.rgb.cmyk.raw(167, 255, 4); // [ 34.509803921568626, 0, 98.43137254901961, 0 ]

### Arrays

All functions that accept multiple arguments also support passing an array.

Note that this does not apply to functions that convert from a color that only requires one value (e.g. `keyword`, `ansi256`, `hex`, etc.)

var convert = require('color-convert');
convert.rgb.hex(123, 45, 67); // '7B2D43'
convert.rgb.hex([123, 45, 67]); // '7B2D43'

## Routing

Conversions that don't have an explicitly defined conversion (in conversions.js), but can be converted by means of sub-conversions (e.g. XYZ -> RGB -> CMYK), are automatically routed together. This allows just about any color model supported by `color-convert` to be converted to any other model, so long as a sub-conversion path exists. This is also true for conversions requiring more than one step in between (e.g. LCH -> LAB -> XYZ -> RGB -> Hex).

Keep in mind that extensive conversions may result in a loss of precision, and exist only to be complete. For a list of "direct" (single-step) conversions, see conversions.js.
