[Online Documentation][docs].

An Elixir color manipulation library designed to work like
[`chroma-js`](https://github.com/gka/chroma.js). It may not have full parity
with `chroma-js`, but it includes most of the common operations and features.

## Quick Start

Here are a few things `Ultraviolet` can do:

- read colors from a wide range of inputs
- analyze and manipulate colors
- convert colors into a wide range of formats
- linear, bezier, and custom interpolation in different color spaces

Here's an example of a simple read / manipulate / output chain

```elixir
{:ok, color} = Ultraviolet.new("pink")

color
|> Ultraviolet.Color.darken!()
|> Ultraviolet.Color.saturate!(2)
|> Ultraviolet.Color.hex()
#=> "#ff6d93"
```

Aside from that, `Ultraviolet` can help you **generate nice colors** using
various methods. These colors can be used, for example, as a color palette for
maps or data visualization.

```elixir
{:ok, scale} = Ultraviolet.scale(["#fafa6e", "#2a4858"], space: :lch)
colors = Ultraviolet.Scale.take(scale, 6)
```

There's a lot more to offer; the [documentation][docs] contains more examples
of how to use `Ultraviolet`.

## Installation

You can install `ultraviolet` by adding it to your list of dependencies in
`mix.exs`:

```elixir
def deps do
  [
    {:ultraviolet, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
end
```
