Takes in a HEX color and produces variations of that colour for the foreground and background
It takes a great php class made by Patrick Fitzgerald in 2004 ( http://www.barelyfitz.com/projects/csscolor/ ) and wraps it in a library for use in your project.
Install this package through Composer. Add the following to your composer.json file:
"require": {
"soapbox/css-colors": "dev-master"
}Next, run composer install
Finally, add the service provider and the facade to app/config/app.php.
'providers' => array(
// ...
'SoapBox\Csscolor\CsscolorServiceProvider'
)
Not requred, but you can addd the Csscolor alias if you want.
'aliases' => array(
// ...
'Csscolor' => 'SoapBox\Csscolor\Facade'
)All you need to do is put the HEX values into a colour object
$color = Csscolor::make('3D88C8');
$color->bg['0']; // returns the same colour as entered
$color->bg['+1']; // +1 to +5 and -1 to -5 to return variations of the colour to work with gradiants
$color->fg['0']; // returns a colour that can sit on the foreground of the defined hex value
...A var_dump of the $color objects instanciated with the color #3D88C8 look like the following:
object(SoapBox\Csscolor\Csscolor)[1109]
