## Features

### Validation & Detection
- **Color Validation**: Check if color strings are valid for different formats, ensuring color data integrity.
- **Format Detection**: Identify the format of a given color string, providing insights into color data and enhancing format compatibility.

### Conversion
- **Color Conversion**: Convert colors between different formats, supporting a wide range of color models.
- **Opacity Extraction**: Extract the opacity value from a color, useful for understanding and manipulating alpha channels.
- **Color Number Parsing**: Parse color components into numeric values, allowing for detailed color manipulations and analyses.

### Gradient Generations
- **Stepped Gradient**: Create stepped gradients between two colors, perfect for heatmaps and visual effects.
- **Advanced Multi-Stepped Gradient**: Generate complex gradients with multiple colors and steps, offering detailed control over color transitions.

### Manipulations
- **Brightness Adjustment**: Increase or decrease the brightness of a color to fit your design needs.
- **Saturation Adjustment**: Modify the saturation of a color, allowing for more vibrant or subdued variations.
- **Hue Adjustment**: Change the hue of a color to any specified degree, enabling creative color transformations.
- **Opacity Change**: Adjust the opacity of a color, useful for transparency effects and layering.
- **Color Inversion**: Invert colors to create striking visual effects or highlight contrasts.
- **Tinting and Shading**: Create tints by mixing colors with white and shades by mixing with black, ideal for theme generation and UI design.
- **Sepia Effect**: Apply a sepia tone to give colors a warm, vintage feel.
- **Greyscale Application**: Apply greyscale, maintaining luminance while removing hue and saturation.
- **Opposite Color**: Calculate the complementary color by adjusting the hue by 180 degrees, useful for design contrast and harmony.
- **Random Color Generation**: Generate a random color in any specified format (HEX, HEXA, RGB, RGBA, HSL, HSLA, HSV, CMYK).

### Analysis
- **Luminance Calculation**: Get the luminance of a color, understanding its perceived brightness.
- **Color Lightness Detection**: Determine if a color is considered light or dark, aiding in accessibility and readability decisions.
- **Contrast Calculation**: Calculate the contrast ratio between two colors, essential for designing accessible and legible interfaces.
- **Color Similarity Calculation**: Calculate the similarity percentage between two colors, useful for finding colors that are visually close.
- **Color Temperature**: Convert colors to correlated color temperature (CCT) in Kelvin, useful for lighting design and color analysis.

### Supported Color Formats:

- RGB, RGBA
- HSL, HSLA
- HEX, HEXA
- HSV
- CMYK

## Installation

```bash
npm install @mirawision/colorize
```

or 

```bash
yarn add @mirawision/colorize
```

## Usage

Here's a quick overview of how to use some of the core functionalities of @mirawision/colorize:

### Basic Example with the Color Class

```javascript
import { Color } from '@mirawision/colorize';

// Initialize a Color object with a HEX color
const myColor = new Color('#3498db');

console.log(myColor.get()); // Outputs: '#3498db'
console.log(myColor.rgb()); // Returns color in RGB format: 'rgb(52, 152, 219)'
console.log(myColor.hsl()); // Returns color in HSL format: 'hsl(204, 70%, 53%)'

// Apply some manipulations
console.log(myColor.applyBrightness(20)); // Brightens the color: '#60aef1'
console.log(myColor.applyInvert()); // Inverts the color: '#cb6734'
console.log(myColor.applyGrayscale()); // Applies grayscale effect: '#a1a1a1'
```

### Convert Colors

```javascript
import { convertColor } from '@mirawision/colorize/convert-color';

const rgb = convertColor('hsl(120, 100%, 50%)', 'rgb');
console.log(rgb); // Output: 'rgb(0, 255, 0)'
```

### Validate HEX Color

```javascript
import { isValidHEXColor } from '@mirawision/colorize/is-valid-color';

const isValid = isValidHEXColor('#ff0000');
console.log(isValid); // Output: true
```

### Get Color Format

```javascript
import { getColorFormat } from '@mirawision/colorize/get-color-format';

const format = getColorFormat('rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.5)');
console.log(format); // Output: 'rgba'
```

### Generate Random Color

```javascript
import { randomColor } from '@mirawision/colorize';

console.log(randomColor()); // Outputs: a random color in HEX format
console.log(randomColor('rgb')); // Outputs: a random color in RGB format
console.log(randomColor('hsl')); // Outputs: a random color in HSL format
```

### Generate Gradient

```javascript
import { generateSteppedGradient } from '@mirawision/colorize/generate-stepped-gradient';

const gradient = generateSteppedGradient('rgb(255, 0, 0)', 'rgb(0, 0, 255)', 3);
console.log(gradient); // Output: ['rgb(191, 0, 64)', 'rgb(128, 0, 128)', 'rgb(64, 0, 191)']
```

### Adjust Brightness

```javascript
import { adjustBrightness } from '@mirawision/colorize/adjust-brightness';

const brighter = adjustBrightness('hsl(120, 50%, 50%)', 10);
console.log(brighter); // Output: 'hsl(120, 50%, 60%)'
```
