culori extras

These projects add more functionality to culori, but they're separate as to keep the core bundle small:

• culori-scales — color scales (ColorBrewer, matplotlib, etc).
• culori-names — More named colors, from a variety of sources.
• d3-color-difference — a separate D3.js plugin to compute color differences

Products using culori

• Moqups — all our color-manipulation functions are handled by culori.
• Dainty — Dainty is a configurable refined and balanced color theme for Visual Studio using culori’s CIELAB capabilities for generating and processing colors.
