color_ext 0.1.0

Extensions for Dart's native Color class.

color_ext

A small but powerful Dart/Flutter package providing extensions and utilities for working with colors. Includes convenient RGBA/CMYK conversion, color inversion, luminance scaling, and easy access to individual channels. Perfect for designers, Flutter developers, or anyone who wants more control over colors programmatically.

Features

• Create colors from CMYK values.
• Invert colors easily using .inverted.
• Scale colors by luminance using .withLuminance(double).
• Access RGBA channels as integers (0-255).
• Access CMYK channels as doubles (0.0-1.0).
• Fully Dart-native, works in both Flutter and server-side Dart.

Getting started

Prerequisites

• Dart SDK >= 2.18
• Flutter >= 3.0 (optional, if using in Flutter apps)

Installation

Add the dependency to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  color_ext: ^0.1.0

Then run:

dart pub get

or for Flutter projects

flutter pub get

Usage

Basic example

import 'package:color_ext/color_ext.dart';

void main() {
  // Create a color from ARGB
  final colour = Colour.fromARGB(0xFF, 0xCC, 0xFF, 0xCC);

  // Invert the color
  final inverted = colour.inverted;
  print("Inverted color: R:${inverted.red}, G:${inverted.green}, B:${inverted.blue}");

  // Scale luminance
  final halfShade = colour.withLuminance(0.5);
  print("Half-luminance color: R:${halfShade.red}, G:${halfShade.green}, B:${halfShade.blue}");

  // Create from CMYK
  final cyan = ColourExt.fromCMYK(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
  print("Cyan RGB: ${cyan.red}, ${cyan.green}, ${cyan.blue}");

  // Access CMYK channels
  print("CMYK of #CCFFCC: "
      "C: ${colour.c.toStringAsFixed(2)}, "
      "M: ${colour.m.toStringAsFixed(2)}, "
      "Y: ${colour.y.toStringAsFixed(2)}, "
      "K: ${colour.k.toStringAsFixed(2)}");
}

Output (approximate)

Inverted color: R:51, G:0, B:51
Half-luminance color: R:102, G:127, B:102
Cyan RGB: 0, 255, 255
CMYK of #CCFFCC: C:0.50, M:0.25, Y:0.50, K:0.00
