README

This package provides access to the color palettes used in Pico CSS.

Installation

composer require phpcolor/pico-colors:^1.0

The package works standalone. Install phpcolor/phpcolor only when using palette():

composer require phpcolor/phpcolor

Usage

Color names

use PhpColor\Colors\Pico\PicoColors as Pico;

$colors = Pico::colors();

$names = $colors->getNames(); 
// 'red', 'pink', 'fuchsia', 'purple', 'violet', 'indigo'
// 'blue', 'azure', 'cyan', 'jade', 'green', 'lime', 'yellow',
// 'amber', 'pumpkin', 'orange', 'sand', 'grey', 'zinc', 'slate'

Color shades

use PhpColor\Colors\Pico\PicoColors as Pico;

$colors = Pico::colors();

$shades = $colors->getShades(); 
// 50, 100, 150, ... ,850, 900, 950

Color values

use PhpColor\Colors\Pico\PicoColors as Pico;

$colors = Pico::colors();

echo $colors->azure;             // #017FC0
echo $colors->azure();           // #017FC0
echo $colors->azure(500);        // #017FC0

echo $colors->get('azure');      // #017FC0
echo $colors->get('azure', 500); // #017FC0

PHPColor palette

use PhpColor\Color\Palette\ColorPaletteInterface;
use PhpColor\Colors\Pico\PicoColors as Pico;

$palette = Pico::colors()->palette('azure');
assert($palette instanceof ColorPaletteInterface);

echo $palette->get(500)->toHex(); // #017fc0

Calling palette() without phpcolor/phpcolor installed throws a LogicException with the installation command.
