webcolors
is a module for working with and converting between the
various HTML/CSS color formats.
Support is included for normalizing and converting between the
following formats (RGB colorspace only; conversion to/from HSL can be
handled by the colorsys
module in the Python standard library):
- Specification-defined color names
- Six-digit hexadecimal
- Three-digit hexadecimal
- Integer
rgb()
triplet - Percentage
rgb()
triplet
For example:
>>> import webcolors
>>> webcolors.hex_to_name("#daa520")
'goldenrod'
Implementations are also provided for the HTML5 color parsing and
serialization algorithms. For example, parsing the infamous
"chucknorris" string into an rgb()
triplet:
>>> import webcolors
>>> webcolors.html5_parse_legacy_color("chucknorris")
HTML5SimpleColor(red=192, green=0, blue=0)
