📄 API Documentation

{
    hex: "#CCFB7B",
    rgb: "rgb(204, 251, 123)",
    hsl: "hsl(82, 51%, 98%)"
}

🎨 Get random color with a given hue

You can get random shades of the color you need. For example, using reserved names such as:
[ red, pink, puprle, navy, blue, aqua, green, lime, yellow, orange ]

Instead of reserved words, you can use any number from the range [0, 359] - which corresponds to the HUE scale.

🔧 Parameters

The number parameter allows you to get an array containing the desired number of random colors.

?number=3

The type parameter allows you to get either only a dark or light shade of color. This allows you to know in advance what font color to use against the background of the resulting color. Usually, the font color is white on dark colors, and black on light colors.

It works if you have specified the {hue}/{color} you need or use all - for an any color.

/random/{hue/color/all}?type=dark

/random/{hue/color/all}?type=light

🔄 Converting сolors

You can freely convert colors between three color models. To do this, use the desired endpoint and use the value parameter to specify the color value of the color model, depending on the selected endpoint.
