Utility functions for color conversions between hex, RGB, and HSL formats.

Code

Conversions

import colorsys
 
def hex_to_rgb(hex_color):
    """Convert hex color to RGB tuple."""
    hex_color = hex_color.lstrip('#')
    
    if len(hex_color) != 3 and len(hex_color) != 6:
        raise ValueError("Invalid hex color format. Should be 3 or 6 characters.")
 
    if len(hex_color) == 3:
        hex_color = ''.join([c * 2 for c in hex_color])
 
    r = int(hex_color[0:2], 16)
    g = int(hex_color[2:4], 16)
    b = int(hex_color[4:6], 16)
 
    return r, g, b
 
 
def rgb_to_hsl(rgb):
    """Convert RGB to HSL."""
    r, g, b = rgb
    r /= 255
    g /= 255
    b /= 255
    h, l, s = colorsys.rgb_to_hls(r, g, b)
    return h, s, l
 
 
def hsl_to_255rgb(hsl):
    """Convert HSL to RGB (0-255 range)."""
    h, s, l = hsl
    r, g, b = colorsys.hls_to_rgb(h, l, s)
    return round(r * 255), round(g * 255), round(b * 255)
 
 
def hsl_to_rgb(hsl):
    """Convert HSL to RGB (0-1 range)."""
    h, s, l = hsl
    r, g, b = colorsys.hls_to_rgb(h, l, s)
    return r, g, b
 
 
def rgb_to_normalized(rgb):
    """Normalize RGB values to 0-1 range."""
    r, g, b = rgb
    return r / 255, g / 255, b / 255

Formatters

def format_css(file_path):
    """Format CSS file to Tailwind standards."""
    with open(file_path, 'r') as file:
        content = file.read()
 
    content = content.replace('(', '').replace(')', '').replace(',', '')
 
    with open(file_path, 'w') as file:
        file.write(content)
 
    print(f'{file_path} has been formatted.')

Usage

# convert hex to RGB
rgb = hex_to_rgb("#3B82F6")
print(rgb)  # (59, 130, 246)
 
# convert RGB to HSL
hsl = rgb_to_hsl((59, 130, 246))
print(hsl)  # (0.6, 0.92, 0.60)
