coolors-io v1.1.1

coolors-io

A simple JS script to parse or generate Coolors.co URLs to/from an array of hex values

Note: this project is in no way affiliated with Coolors.co and makes no guarantees about the stability of the coolors API. Based on the API as observed on 06/20/2020

Purpose:

Coolors.co has a great interface for rapidly creating color palettes and I wanted a way to more easily integrate it into my dev work

About Coolors URLs

Coolors URLs follow the format:

https://coolors.co/HEX-HEX-HEX-HEX-HEX-HEX

For example:

https://coolors.co/c3f73a-95e06c-68b684-094d92-1c1018

Notes:

• Coolors URLs do not include '#'
• Coolors URLs can have 1 - 10 hex values
  • Less than one will point to the landing page
  • More than ten will return a 404 error
• The order of hex values is significant in Coolors URLs and is preserved in parse and gen
