Color Mixer
===========

[](#color-mixer)

A set of Twig filters for modifying hex colors in [Craft](http://buildwithcraft.com/).

### Install

[](#install)

Download / clone this repo into `craft/plugins/colormixer`.

**Important:** Make sure you create the `colormixer` folder in the plugins directory. We've left the folder out to make it easy for anyone wanting to use the plugin as a Git Sub-module!

### Filters

[](#filters)

**hexToHsl**

```
hexToHsl

hexToHsl($returnAsArray)
```

Converts a hex to HSL. Returns a comma separated string unless `$returnAsArray` is set to true.

**hexToRgb**

```
hexToRgb

hexToRgb($returnAsArray)
```

Converts a hex to RGB. Returns a comma separated string unless `$returnAsArray` is set to true.

**darken**

```
darken($amount)
```

Darkens a hex by the `$amount` percentage.

**lighten**

```
lighten($amount)
```

Lightens a hex by the `$amount` percentage.

**mix**

```
mix($hexToMixWith, $amount)
```

Mixes two hexes together. The `$amount` to mix the colors together by is set between -100..0..+100, where 0 is an equal amount of both colors. `$amount` defaults to 0 if not set.

**isLight**

```
isLight($threshold)
```

Returns true if the color is considered "light", false if not. The *optional* `$threshold` value determines at what point the color is considered light. Anything above this value is considered light. Defaults to 130, range is 0..255.

**isDark**

```
isDark($threshold)
```

Returns true if the color is considered "dark", false if not. The *optional* `$threshold` value determines at what point the color is considered dark. Anything below or equal to this value is considered dark. Defaults to 130, range is 0..255.

**complementary**

```
complementary
```

Returns the complimentary color.

**gradientColors**

```
gradientColors($amount, $threshold)
```

Returns an array with the input color and a slightly darkened / lightened counterpart (depending on whether the input color is light or dark). Both parameters are *optional*.
`$amount` defines how much lighter or darker the color should be made (defaults to 10, range is 0..100).
`$threshold` determines at what point the color is considered dark. Anything below or equal to this value is considered dark. Defaults to 130, range is 0..255.

**gradient**

```
gradient($direction, $amountOrSecondary, $threshold)
```

Returns a string of CSS containing the styling to give an element a background gradient. All parameters are *optional*.
`$direction` defines the direction of the gradient. Must be either: `horizontal` (→), `vertical` (↓), `diagonalDown` (↘), `diagonalUp` (↗), `radial` (○). Defaults to `horizontal`.
`$amountOrSecondary` defines the amount to lighten or darken the input color (defaults to 10, range is 0..100) or a hex string for the secondary color. `$threshold` determines at what point the color is considered dark. Anything below or equal to this value is considered dark. Defaults to 130, range is 0..255. If `$amountOrSecondary` is a hex string, this value is ignored.
