Python colorspace implementation.

python-colorspace

A Python toolbox for manipulating and assessing colors and palettes

Documentation Examples Testing Coverage

The package provides a Python 3 version of the R colorspace package comprising:

  • Color spaces: Conversions and manipulations of RGB, HSV, CIEXYZ, CIELAB, CIELUV, HCL etc.
  • HCL-based palettes: Qualitative, sequential, and diverging color maps constructed using the HCL (hue-chroma-luminance) color model. These can closely approximate palettes from ColorBrewer.org, CARTO, viridis, or Crameri's scientific color maps.
  • matplotlib color maps: Integration with matplotlib for use in standard plotting functions.
  • Palette visualization: Plotting palettes in color swatches, spectrums of HCL and/or RGB trajectories, and illustrations of typical data visualizations.
  • Interactive palette chooser: App for exploring, modifying, and picking color palettes interactively.
  • Color vision deficiency: Emulation of different kinds of color blindness.
  • Utilities: Various color manipulations including tools to desaturate, lighten, darken, adjust the transparency, or compute the contrast ratio.
