Introduction

Experimental

Plugins provided by ColorAide Extras is essentially an experimental playground. Regardless of how polished a given plugin may seem, they should be considered experimental.

Overview

ColorAide Extras is an add-on pack containing various plugins for ColorAide. The idea behind ColorAide Extras is to provide an environment for experimental color spaces, ∆E methods, and other plugins.

Installation

The recommended way to install ColorAide Extras is to use pip:

$ pip install coloraide_extras

Usage

Normally, it is advisable to only cherry pick color spaces you need. Rarely do people need every color space. This can be done simply by registering the color spaces you'd like.

>>> from coloraide import Color as Base
>>> from coloraide_extras.spaces.uvw import UVW
>>> class Color(Base): ...
... 
>>> Color.register(UVW())
>>> Color('red').convert('uvw')
color(--uvw 171.8 24.715 52.261 / 1)
Gamut: srgb

But, if you want access to all the color spaces for both ColorAide and ColorAide Extras, simply import ColorAll from coloraide_extras.everything instead of coloraide:

>>> from coloraide_extras.everything import ColorAll as Color
>>> Color('color(--uvw 171.8 24.715 52.261 / 1)')
color(--uvw 171.8 24.715 52.261 / 1)
Gamut: srgb
