1. Conversion

You can use this package to convert colors to different notations. An example might be converting HEX to RGB:

<?php

use Liquidpineapple\Color;

$rgbColor = Color::fromHEX('#1E90FF')->toRGB();
// [30, 144, 255]

1a. Output

In some cases you might want an output like rgb(30, 144, 255). This can be done using the following method:

<?php

use Liquidpineapple\Color;

$rgbColor = Color::fromHEX('#1E90FF')->toRGBString();
// rgb(30, 144, 255)

1b. Types

You can convert from the following types:

• HEX: fromHEX($hex)
• RGB: fromHEX($red, $green, $blue)
• HSL: fromHSL($hue, $saturation, $lightness)
• HSV: fromHSV($hue, $saturation, $value)

To the following types

• HEX: toHEX() & toHEXString() (alias of toHEX())
• RGB: toRGB() & toRGBString()
• HSL: toHSL() & toHSLString()
• HSV: toHSV() & toHSVString()

2. Alteration

Sometimes just conversion isn't enough, in some cases you might want to darken or saturate a color. Luckily, this is a breeze with this package.

2a. Lightness

You can alter the lightness of the color using the following methods:

• lighten($amount)
• darken($amount)

The amount in both message is a percentage. An example:

<?php

use Liquidpineapple\Color;

$primaryColor = '#1E90FF';

$secondaryColor = Color::fromHEX('#1E90FF')->darken(10)->toHEX();
// #2A8FF4

2b. Saturation

Just as with lightness you can alter the saturation of a given color. This can be done using the following methods:

• saturate($amount)
• desaturate($amount)

The amount in both message is a percentage. An example:

<?php

use Liquidpineapple\Color;

$dullColor = '#C44';

$exitingColor = Color::fromHEX('#C44')->saturate(10)->toHEX();
// #D33C3C
