<script src="hexSorter.js"></script>

Using npm:

In Node.js:

// Load the module.
const hexSorter = require('hexSorter');

Why hexSorter?

hexSorter was based on an old Adobe Kuler plugin in php. Rewritten to work with
new technology.

Its usage is to automagically sort colors by luminosity, to generate style
sheets or vector fill/strokes.

  • Sort colors by luminosity
  • Get brightest color from array
  • Get most saturated color from array
  • Mix hexadecimal color values to create/diffuse colors
  • Choose conversion type for RGB->Y. BT.601, BT709, BT2020

Usage

node test
const hexSorter = require('./hexSorter');
const log = console.log;
var colorArray = ["#516373", "#f2b999", "#f2e8c9", "#6c838c", "#f2f2f2"];

var mixColor = hexSorter.colorMixer(colorArray[0], "#fff", 50);
var mostBright = hexSorter.sortColors(colorArray, 'mostBrightColor');
var mostSaturatedColor = hexSorter.sortColors(colorArray, 'mostSaturatedColor');
var colorMixed = hexSorter.colorMixer("#516373", "#fff", 50);
var mixSort = hexSorter.mixSortColors(colorArray, 'mostBrightColor', "#fff", 50);

console.log("Mixed with 50% white: ", mixColor);
console.log("Sorted by brightness: ", mostBright);
console.log("Sorted by saturation: ", mostSaturatedColor);
console.log("Mix #fff sorted: ", mixSort);
console.log("Mix #516373 with #fff - 50%: ", colorMixed);
