ColorConverter

Small python application for breaking down hex colors to components and then being able to print the list using a format specified by the user.

Colors

Colors are written with following syntax:

Name:Hex

Name can be any string while Hex must be a string starting with "#". The rest of the letters must be 0-F and the value can be using 3, 4, 6 or 8 bytes (#000 (rgb), #0000 (rgba), #000000 (rgb), #00000000 (rgba)). If no alpha channel is supplied, the value is set to 255 by default.

Name and Hex must be seperated by a colon (':') but any whitespace added for readability should be stripped.

Application

Application is written with Python3 and currently not backwards compatible with Python2 :( but should work fine with Python2 now :)

Commands:
? - Prints help text
q - Exit application
exit - Exit application
color [name:hex] - Add color with specified name and hex value
print [filename] - Print list of all colors using a specified format, prints to file if filename is provided
file [filenames] - Loads one or more text files with colors

Files

Files are simple textfiles using following format:

# Comments goes here
[Name:Hex]

# Examples
Black:#000000
White:#FFF
Green:#00FF00FF

Example

user@computer$ python converter.py 
> color black:#000
> color white:#FFF
> color red:#F00
> color green:#0F0
> color blue:#00F
> print
Specify format (Name=$N, Red=$R, Green=$G, Blue=$B, Alpha=$A, Hex=$H): $N: $H, rgba($R, $G, $B, $A)
blue: #00F, rgba(0, 0, 255, 1)
green: #0F0, rgba(0, 255, 0, 1)
white: #FFF, rgba(255, 255, 255, 1)
black: #000, rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)
red: #F00, rgba(255, 0, 0, 1)

Future

• Comment code
• Increase safety for Hex values (count bits etc)
• Remove case sensitivity for Hex values
• Better formatting options
• Ability to use RGB(A) for constructing Color objects
• Python2 compability
