Wrote this today for something at work… it’s not done yet but figured it was worth a post… will probably post finished version tomorrow…

This can be a little golfed since it is just a demo for work and not code on a real product 😀

HWB Colors

  1. // Safari and Firefox only... no Chrome support at time of this post
  2. Object.assign(document.body.style, { 
  3.   margin: 0,
  4.   display: 'grid',
  5.   'grid-template-columns': '1fr 1fr 1fr',
  6. });
  7.  
  8. const hwbBlock = () => {
  9.   const hue = Math.round(Math.random() * 360)
  10.   const white = Math.round(
  11.     Math.random() * Math.random() * 100)
  12.   const black = Math.round(
  13.     Math.random() * Math.random() * 100)
  14.   const col = `hwb(${hue} ${white}% ${black}%)`
  15.   document.body.innerHTML += `
  16.     <div 
  17.       style="
  18.         width: 100%;
  19.         height: 4em;

  29. Array(102).fill(0).map(hwbBlock);

HWB color format… Looking forward to better support on this CSS color format…

HSL to RGB JavaScript

  1. const hsl2rgb = (h, s, l, o) => {
  2.   if (h > 1 || s > 1 || l > 1) {
  3.       h /= 360;
  4.       s /= 100;
  5.       l /= 100;
  6.   }
  7.   h *= 360;
  8.  
  9.   let R, G, B, X, C;
  10.  
  11.   h = (h % 360) / 60;
  12.   C = 2 * s * (l < .5 ? l : 1 - l);
  13.   X = C * (1 - Math.abs(h % 2 - 1));
  14.   R = G = B = l - C / 2;
  15.  
  16.   h = ~~h;
  17.   R += [C, X, 0, 0, X, C][h];
  18.   G += [X, C, C, X, 0, 0][h];
  19.   B += [0, 0, X, C, C, X][h];
  20.   return `rgba(${~~(R * 255)}, ${~~(G * 255)}, ${~~(B * 255)}, ${o})`;
  21. };
  22.  
  23. console.log(hsl2rgb(122, 50, 50, .5));

Click anywhere on the spectrum to add a color… color boxes can be dragged, color swatches can be deleted by clicking on them…

Just something that popped into my head awhile back so figured I’d do a speed-coded prototype. I’d like to revisit this and add more to it.
