Usage:
my $rgb = assign_rgb_color($str);
Map a string to an RGB color. This is done by producing SHA-1 digest (160bit, 20 bytes) of the string, then taking the first, 10th, and last byte to become the RGB color.
See also: "assign_rgb_dark_color" and "assign_rgb_light_color".
Like "assign_rgb_color" except that it will make sure the assigned color is dark.
Like "assign_rgb_color" except that it will make sure the assigned color is light.
Usage:
my $hsl = hsl2hsv("0 1 0.5"); # => "0 1 1"
Convert HSL to HSV.
See also: "hsv2hsl".
Usage:
my $rgb = hsl2rgb("0 1 0.5"); # => ff0000
Convert HSL to RGB. HSL should be given in a whitespace-separated H,S,L values e.g. "0 1 0.5". H (hue degree) has a range from 0-360 where 0 is red, 120 is green, 240 is blue and 360 is back to red. S (saturation) has a range from 0-1 where 0 is gray and 1 is fully saturated hue. L (lumination) has a range from 0-1 where 0 is fully black, 0.5 fully saturated, and 1 is fully white.
See also "rgb2hsl".
Usage:
my $hsl = hsv2hsl("0 1 1"); # => "0 1 0.5"
Convert HSV to HSL.
See also "hsl2hsv".
Usage:
my $rgb = hsv2rgb("0 1 1"); # => ff0000
Convert HSV to RGB. HSV should be given in a whitespace-separated H,S,V values e.g. "0 1 1". H (hue degree) has a range from 0-360 where 0 is red, 120 is green, 240 is blue and 360 is back to red. S (saturation) has a range from 0-1 where 0 is gray and 1 is fully saturated hue. V (value) has a range from 0-1 where 0 is black and 1 is white.
See also "rgb2hsv".
Usage:
my $rgb = int2rgb(0xffffff); # => ffffff
Convert integer to RGB string.
See also "rgb2int".
Usage:
my $mixed_rgb = mix_2_rgb_colors($rgb1, $rgb2, $pct);
Mix 2 RGB colors. $pct is a number between 0 and 1, by default 0.5 (halfway), the closer to 1 the closer the resulting color to $rgb2.
See also "mix_rgb_colors", "tint_rgb_color".
Usage:
my $mixed_rgb = mix_rgb_colors($color1, $weight1, $color2, $weight2, ...);
Mix several RGB colors.
See also "mix_2_rgb_colors".
Usage:
my $rgb = rand_rgb_color([ $low_limit [ , $high_limit ] ]);
Generate a random RGB color. You can specify the limit. Otherwise, they default to the full range (000000 to ffffff).
See also "rand_rgb_colors".
Usage:
my @rgbs = rand_rgb_colors([ \%opts ], $num=1);
Produce $num random RGB colors, with some options. It does not (yet) create a palette of optimally distinct colors, but will make reasonable attempt to make the colors different from one another.
Known options:
Boolean, default true. By default, this function will create light RGB colors, assuming the background color is dark, which is often the case in terminal. If this option is set to false, will create dark colors instead, If this option is set to undef, will create both dark and light colors.
Arrayref or hashref. List of colors to be avoided. You can put, for example, colors that you've already assigned/picked for your palette and don't want to use again.
Uint, default 1000. Number of attempts to try generating the next random color if the generated color is rejected because it is light/dark, or because it's in "avoid_colors".
When the number of attempts has been exceeded, the generated color is used anyway.
Whether to add hash prefix to produced color codes ("#123456") or not ("123456").
See also "rand_rgb_color".
Usage:
my $reversed = reverse_rgb_color($rgb);
Reverse $rgb.
Usage:
my $rgb_gs = rgb2grayscale($rgb [ , $algo ]);
Convert $rgb to grayscale RGB value. There are several algorithms ($algo) to choose from:
The Average method takes the average value of R, G, and B as the grayscale value.
Grayscale = (R + G + B ) / 3.
The average method is simple but does not take into account the non-linearity of human vision (eyes are most sensitive to green, less to red, least to blue).
This method gives weights to each of red, green, blue elements to take into account the sensitivity of human eyes.
Grayscale = 0.299R + 0.587G + 0.114B
See also rgb2sepia.
Usage:
my $hsl = rgb2hsl($rgb); # example: "0 1 0.5"
Convert RGB (0-255) to HSL. The result is a space-separated H, S, L values.
See also "hsl2rgb".
Usage:
my $hsv = rgb2hsv($rgb); # example: "0 1 255"
Convert RGB (0-255) to HSV. The result is a space-separated H, S, V values.
See also "hsv2rgb".
Usage:
my $int = rgb2int("ffffff"); # => 16777216, which is 0xffffff
Convert RGB string to integer.
See also "int2rgb".
Usage:
my $rgb_sepia = rgb2sepia($rgb);
Convert $rgb to sepia tone RGB value.
See also rgb2grayscale.
Usage:
my $dist = rgb_diff($rgb1, $rgb2[ , $algo ])
Calculate difference between two RGB colors, using one of several algorithms.
The default. It calculates the distance as:
( (R1-R2)**2 + (G1-G2)**2 + (B1-B2)**2 )**0.5
which is the same as what "rgb_distance"() would produce.
This algorithm, described in [1] as "a low cost approximation" and "a combination both weighted Euclidean distance functions, where the weight factors depend on how big the 'red' component of the colour is" with "results that are very close to L*u*v" and "a more stable algorithm", uses the following formula:
( 2*(R1-R2)**2 + 4*(G1-G2)**2 + 3*(B1-B2)**2 + Rm*((R1-R2)**2 - (B1-B2)**2)/256 )**0.5
where, Rm or "R mean" is (R1+R2)/2.
Like "approx1", but uses this formula:
( 2*(R1-R2)**2 + 4*(G1-G2)**2 + 3*(B1-B2)**2 )**0.5 # if Rm < 128
( 3*(R1-R2)**2 + 4*(G1-G2)**2 + 2*(B1-B2)**2 )**0.5 # otherwise
Convert the RGB values to HSV, then calculate the HSV distance. Please see source code for details.
Like "hsv_euclidean" but puts more emphasis on hue difference. This algorithm is used, for example, by Color::ANSI::Util when mapping RGB 24bit color to the "closest" the ANSI 256-color or 16-color. This algorithm tends to choose the hued colors instead of favoring to fallback on white/gray, which is more preferred.

See also rgb_distance.
Usage:
my $dist = rgb_distance($rgb1, $rgb2)
Calculate the euclidean RGB distance, using this formula:
( (R1-R2)**2 + (G1-G2)**2 + (B1-B2)**2 )**0.5
For example, the distance between "000000" and "ffffff" is ~441.67, while the distance between "ffff00" and "ffffff" is 255.
See also rgb_diff.
Usage:
my $is_dark = rgb_is_dark($rgb)
Return true if $rgb is a "dark" color, which is determined by checking if the RGB distance to "000000" is smaller than to "ffffff".
See also "rgb_is_light".
Usage:
my $is_light = rgb_is_light($rgb)
Return true if $rgb is a "light" color, which is determined by checking if the RGB distance to "000000" is larger than to "ffffff".
See also "rgb_is_dark".
Usage:
my $luminance = rgb_luminance($rgb);
Calculate standard/objective luminance from RGB value using this formula:
(0.2126*R) + (0.7152*G) + (0.0722*B)
where R, G, and B range from 0 to 1. Return a number from 0 to 1.
Usage:
my $new_rgb = tint_rgb_color($rgb, $tint_rgb, $pct)
Tint $rgb with $tint_rgb. $pct is by default 0.5. It is similar to mixing, but the less luminance the color is the less it is tinted with the tint color. This has the effect of black color still being black instead of becoming tinted.
