react-tinted

Tinted is a color harmony wheel. It helps you choose color combinations that create pleasing contrasts and feel harmonious.

Demo

Install

# Install with yarn
yarn add react-tinted

# Or install with NPM
npm i react-tinted

Usage

import {TintedWheel, TintedPalette, colorModes} from 'react-tinted'

<div className='my-color-wheel'>
  <TintedWheel colorCount={5} mode={colorModes.ANALOGOUS}>
    <TintedPalette />
  </TintedWheel>
</div>

@use 'tinted/wheel';
@use 'tinted/palette';

.my-color-wheel {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: center;
  margin: auto;
  max-width: 400px;
}

A few things to note:

• The wheel can be used without the palette, but it is recommended to use them together.
• To make these abbreviated @use statements work, you will need to add node_modules to SASS' --load-path or sass-loader's includePaths. Alternatively, you could just path into node_modules explicitly.
• If you're not using SASS in your project, we do provide compiled CSS files in the tinted/dist folder.

Custom Colors

You can initialize Tinted with a custom color set:

<TintedWheel
  mode={colorModes.CUSTOM}
  customColors={[
    'red',
    '#0ff',
    {r: 0, g: 255, b: 0},
    {h: 220, s: 1, v: 1},
    {h: 300, s: 1, l: 0.5},
    'hsl(0, 100%, 50%)',
  ]}
>
  <TintedPalette />
</TintedWheel>

Components

TintedWheel

The color harmony wheel for the user to make a selection of colors.

Props

Name	Type	Description
children	React.Children	Color wheel "plugins" like the TintedPalette
className	string	A class name to add to the root element
colorCount	number	The number of colors to use in the color harmony
initRoot	color-like value	The color that should initially be used to select other harmony colors
customColors	color-like array	Rather than specify a root color and a color count, you can pass an array of color-like objects and strings
mode	string	The color harmony mode. Determines how initRoot is used to find other colors
colorWheelImage	string	A URI to a color HSV color wheel image to use
onColorsChanged	(hexColorStrings, currentMode, wheel) => void	Callback invoked when the user manipulates the color markers
radius	number	The radius of the wheel in SVG coordinate units
markerWidth	number	The diameter of the markers used to select colors on the wheel in SVG coordinate units
markerOutlineWidth	number	The width of the outline of the color marker in SVG coordinate units
margin	number	The distance between the border of the <svg> and the circle of the wheel in SVG coordinate units. It is not recommended to pass this prop
baseClassName	string	The prefix for the class names for all generated elements. Overriding this will cause all provided CSS to no longer work. It is not recommended to pass this prop

Also spreads any other props passed on the root element.

TintedPalette

A palette of colors to display the user's chosen values from the TintedWheel. For each color it:

• Allows the user to change the value (or brightness -- "V" in the HSV color model) of the color
• Displays the hex string value of the color

Props

Name	Description
children	An element to be duplicated beneath each color in the palette
className	A class name to add to the root element

Also spreads any other props passed on the root element.

Styling

Feel free to override any of the default styling as you please.

Out of the box, tinted supports a color scheme for a light and dark background, defaulting to the light background. To change it to expect a dark background, add a tinted--dark class to a parent element of the wheel and/or palette.
