The Color API

Turn hex codes into rich color data. Identify a color's name, generate harmonious palettes, and convert between formats (hex, RGB, HSL, CMYK). Useful for design tools, accessibility checks, and brand color analysis.

Tools

• identify_color — Pass a hex value (e.g., "FF5733") to get the color's name, RGB/HSL/CMYK values, and contrast info
• generate_scheme — Create a color scheme from a seed color. Modes: monochrome, analogic, complement, triad, quad
• convert_color — Convert RGB values (0-255 per channel) to hex, HSL, CMYK, and get the nearest named color

When to use

• A designer asks "what's the name of this hex color?"
• Generating a 5-color palette from a brand's primary color
• Converting between color formats for CSS, print, or design specs
• Checking if a color has good contrast for accessibility
