Automatically generate color palettes!
@phun-ky/moebius (Möbius) was created to fit a need I had regarding color palette generation, and as a little challenge to myself. I was never happy with the current online palette generators, and I did not want a "set up" palette, I wanted something that was generated, ready to use, and something that I could use as inspiration on colors to choose from in my projects.
You can check out a working codepen where you can adjust settings and colors here.
npm i -S @phun-ky/moebius
Go here to read the full API documentation.
Import and run the required function:
import Moebius from '@phun-ky/moebius';
const { MoebiusColor, MoebiusPalettes } = await Moebius();The main feature is the ability to create palettes with a given primary color and a secondary color (used for diverging palettes). You can also give the color to diverge to/from.
Default options
const defaultOptions = {
diverging: false,
bezier: false,
randomOffset: false,
correctLightness: false,
noDuplicates: true,
colorScaleMode: 'lch',
reverseDirection: false,
divergentColor: '#f5f5f5'
};You initiate MoebiusPalette like this:
import Moebius from '@phun-ky/moebius';
const { MoebiusPalette, MoebiusColor } = await Moebius();
const palettes = new MoebiusPalettes({
baseColor: new MoebiusColor('#003f5c'),
secondaryColor: new MoebiusColor('#ff9900'),
...options
});And then you can enjoy your palettes!
console.log(palettes.colors.interpolate);

import Moebius from '@phun-ky/moebius';
const { MoebiusColor } = await Moebius();
//
const color = new MoebiusColor('#003f5c');
console.log(color.hsl); // hsl(199, 100%, 18%);This will make available a color object with all of the colors readily converted and ready to use. This is an example output of the color object:
{
"color": "#003f5c",
"name": "Maniac Mansion",
"hex": "#003f5c",
"rgb": "rgb(0, 63, 92)",
"hsl": {
"h": 199,
"s": 100,
"l": 18
},
"hwb": {
"h": 0.45,
"w": 0,
"b": 0.64
},
"hsv": {
"h": 198.91,
"s": 1,
"v": 0.36
},
"lab": {
"l": 24.72,
"a": -5.95,
"b": -22.26
},
"xyz": {
"x": 0.37,
"y": 0.43,
"z": 0.38
},
"lch": {
"l": 24.72,
"c": 23.04,
"h": 255.03
},
"oklch": {
"l": 0.35,
"c": 0.08,
"h": 236.65
},
"hsi": {
"h": 197.96,
"s": 1,
"i": 0.2
},
"oklab": {
"l": 0.35,
"a": -0.04,
"b": -0.06
},
"cmyk": {
"c": 100,
"m": 0,
"y": 32,
"k": 64
}
}For the non-CSS units, the color object also exposes a toString method pr unit:
const color = new MoebiusColor('#003f5c');
console.log(color.hsl.toString()); // "199, 100, 18"The color object exposes a toObject method, that allows to objectify from any color unit given to either a color object for the hsl units, or default rgb:
const color = new MoebiusColor('#003f5c');
console.log(color.toObject('hsl')); // "199, 100, 18"
console.log(color.toObject(); // "0, 63, 92"The color object exposes a toFloat method, that allows to objectify to float values, as in 0-1 instead of 0-255/0-100 from any color unit given to either a color object for the hsl units, or default rgb:
const color = new MoebiusColor('#003f5c');
console.log(color.toFloat('hsl')); // "199, 1, 0.18"
console.log(color.toFloat(); // "0, 0.25, 0.36"Types can be found in @phun-ky/moebius/moebius.d.ts.
