A white text color is better for black background. return Color::of('#ffffff')->darkIsBetter(); // returned `true`. A black text color is better for white background. return Color::of('#ffffff')->lightIsBetter(); // returned `false`. White color is not the best for white background. return Color::of('#000000')->darkIsBetter(); // returned `false`. Black color is not the best for black background. ``` You can also use the converter: ``` use DragonCode\WhichColor\Services\Converter; $converted = new Converter(); $rgb = $converted->hex2rgb('#fa000a'); // RGB object with [250, 0, 10] // $rgb->red; // 250 // $rgb->green; // 0 // $rgb->blue; // 10 // $rgb->toArray(); // [250, 0, 10] $converted->hex2rgb('#f5a'); // RGB object with [255, 85, 170] $converted->hex2rgb('#ff55aa'); // RGB object with [255, 85, 170] $converted->rgb2hex($rgb); // '#fa000a' $converted->rgb2hex([250, 0, 10]); // '#fa000a' $converted->rgb2hex(['red' => 250, 'green' => 0, 'blue' => 10]); // '#fa000a' $converted->rgb2hex(['r' => 250, 'g' => 0, 'b' => 10]); // '#fa000a' ``` Example ------- [](#example) [![map of colors](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/10347617/43231090-85dfba92-9073-11e8-9dbc-d2968b5ef1a2.png)](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/10347617/43231090-85dfba92-9073-11e8-9dbc-d2968b5ef1a2.png) License ------- [](#license) This package is licensed under the [MIT License](LICENSE). ### Health Score 51 — FairBetter than 96% of packages Maintenance70 Regular maintenance activity Popularity24 Limited adoption so far Community11 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity83 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
