Create color schemes with LESS

I like to use formulaic color schemes in my web development sometimes, but generating them with tools like kuler is not very maintainable. So I decided to write some LESS color formulas to generate some of the most common color schemes, and share it with you.

Documentation

Scope:

Create the following color schemes

  • Shades
  • Analgous
  • Complementary
  • Split Complementary
  • Clash
  • Triadic
  • Tetradic
  • Five tone
  • Six tone

Usage

Each color scheme takes two parameters, @baseColor and @difference, @distance, or @angle. Except for the complimentary scheme, which only takes @baseColor.

Dependancies

The only dependancy is LESS.
