HexRGB.el With Some Extras

If you use a lot of css, you probably know there a few useful preprocessor, like SASS and LESS both of which give us a collection of color manipulation functions.

Building on the work done by the most excellent Drew Adams in his hexrgb.el (the original is at http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/hexrgb.el)

I've added a few extensions, and tweaks to make it even more useful.

hexrgb-rgb-to-hex and hexrgb-hsv-to-hex accepts an additional argument nb-digits so that hex colors returned are with 2 digits per r,g,b value.

(hexrgb-hsv-to-hex   0.05   0.7   0.4     2) 
;;------------------ ^ ---- ^ --- ^ ----- ^ -------
;;                   hue    sat   light   nb-digits

Which returns #6639B8

I've also added a few convenience functions that provide color manipulation direct from hex colors. Currently these just work in eshell or interactive emacs lisp modes.

For example:

1
(hexrgb-hex-set-brightness "#ff0000" 0.3)

returns #4C0000

1
(hexrgb-hex-set-saturation "#ff0000" 0.5)

returns #FF7F7F

1
(hexrgb-hex-set-hue "#FF0000" 0.6)

returns #0066FF

Color groups,

This makes working with colors easier, for example, you could add (require 'hexrgb) to a theme definition and use the functions to manipulate theme colors, or just switch on rainbow-mode when you're in eshell, and play.

Here's the full code, to get the new functions, they're at the bottom.

;;
;;  Functions to manipulate colors, including RGB hex strings.
;;
;;  This library provides functions for converting between RGB (red,
;;  green, blue) color components and HSV (hue, saturation, value)
;;  color components.  It helps you convert among Emacs color
;;  components (whole numbers from 0 through 65535), RGB and HSV
;;  floating-point components (0.0 through 1.0), Emacs color-name
;;  strings (such as "blue"), and hex RGB color strings (such as
;;  "#FC43A7912").
;;
;;  An RGB hex string, such as used as a frame `background-color'
;;  property, is a string of 1 + (3 * n) characters, the first of
;;  which is "#".  The other characters are hexadecimal digits, in
;;  three groups representing (from the left): red, green, and blue
;;  hex codes.
;;
;;  Constants defined here:
;;
;;    `hexrgb-defined-colors', `hexrgb-defined-colors-alist',
;;    `hexrgb-defined-colors-no-dups',
;;    `hexrgb-defined-colors-no-dups-alist'.
;;
;;  Options defined here:
;;
;;    `hexrgb-canonicalize-defined-colors-flag'.
;;
;;  Commands defined here:
;;
;;    `hexrgb-blue', `hexrgb-complement', `hexrgb-green',
;;    `hexrgb-hue', `hexrgb-read-color', `hexrgb-red',
;;    `hexrgb-saturation', `hexrgb-value'.
;;
;;  Non-interactive functions defined here:
;;
;;    `hexrgb-approx-equal', `hexrgb-canonicalize-defined-colors',
;;    `hexrgb-color-name-to-hex', `hexrgb-color-values-to-hex',
;;    `hexrgb-color-value-to-float', `hexrgb-defined-colors',
;;    `hexrgb-defined-colors-alist',
;;    `hexrgb-delete-whitespace-from-string',
;;    `hexrgb-float-to-color-value', `hexrgb-hex-char-to-integer',
;;    `hexrgb-hex-to-color-values', `hexrgb-hex-to-hex',
;;    `hexrgb-hex-to-hsv', `hexrgb-hex-to-rgb', `hexrgb-hsv-to-hex',
;;    `hexrgb-hex-to-int', `hexrgb-hsv-to-rgb',
;;    `hexrgb-increment-blue', `hexrgb-increment-equal-rgb',
;;    `hexrgb-increment-green', `hexrgb-increment-hex',
;;    `hexrgb-increment-red', `hexrgb-int-to-hex', `hexrgb-blue-hex',
;;    `hexrgb-green-hex', `hexrgb-red-hex', `hexrgb-rgb-hex-string-p',
;;    `hexrgb-rgb-hex-to-rgb-hex', `hexrgb-rgb-to-hex',
;;    `hexrgb-rgb-to-hsv'.
;;
;;  New non-interactive functions
;;
;;     `hexrgb-hex-set-brightness, `hexrgb-hex-set-saturation,
;;     `hexrgb-hex-set-hue
;;
;;  New interactive functions 
;;     
;;     `hexrgb-hex-hue-group
;;     `hexrgb-hex-sat-group 
;;     `hexrgb-hex-val-group
;;
;;  Add this to your initialization file (~/.emacs or ~/_emacs):
;;
;;    (require 'hexrgb)
;;
;;  Do not try to use this library without a window manager.
;;  That is, do not use this with `emacs -nw'.

;;
;;; Change Log:
;;
;; 2013/01/18 jasonm23
;;
;; Patched hexrgb-rgb-to-hex to use nb-digits properly
;;
;; 2012/07/01 jasonm23
;;
;;     Added 3 interactive functions that spit out a set of 10 colors from one hex color.
;;     hue, sat, val scales.
;;     e.g. 
;;     M-x hexrgb-hex-val-group 
;;         #33aaaa 
;;     inserts: 
;;         #2D98D6, #2887BE, #2376A6, #1E658E, #195477, #14435F, #0F3247, #0A212F, #051017,
;;     at the current cursor position.
;;
;;     This is made more flexible with the addition of a defcustom: `hexrgb-color-group-format'
;;     Which is set to "%s, " by default, can be set to any printf formatting pattern.
;;
;;     For example, creating a set of font-lock-face- settings is pretty easy, set 
;;     `hexrgb-color-group-format' to equal..
;;
;;     "'(font-lock-_-face ((t (:foreground \"%s\"))))"
;;
;;     This is only useful when using rainbow-mode at the same time, and you like to experiment
;;     with colors.
;;
;; 2012/06/30 jasonm23 
;;     Modified hexrgb-hsv-to-hex to accept nb-digits. added new
;;     functions  hexrgb-hex-adjust-brightness,  hexrgb-hex-adjust-saturation,
;;      hexrgb-hex-adjust-hue
;;
;; 2012/03/17 dadams
;;     Added: hexrgb-(red|green|blue-hex, hexrgb-rgb-hex-to-rgb-hex, hexrgb-hex-to-hex.
;; 2012/01/05 dadams
;;     hexrgb-complement: Added optional arg MSG-P.
;;     Some doc-string cleanup.
;; 2011/11/26 dadams
;;     hexrgb-read-color: Changed arg order to match vanilla Emacs read-color.  Added MSGP.
;;     *** THIS IS AN INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE.  IF YOU USE THIS FUNCTION THEN UPDATE YOUR CODE. ***
;; 2011/02/16 dadams
;;     hexrgb-increment-hex: INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE:
;;                           Swapped order of args NB-DIGITS, INCREMENT, to fit other functions.
;;     hexrgb-increment-*: Took the change to hexrgb-increment-hex into account.
;;     Improved various doc strings.
;; 2011/01/08 dadams
;;     Restored autoload cookie for eval-and-compile hexrgb-canonicalize-defined-colors.
;; 2011/01/03 dadams
;;     Removed autoload cookies from non-interactive functions.
;; 2010/12/18 dadams
;;     hexrgb-canonicalize-defined-colors: Added autoload cookie.  Thx to Richard Kim.
;; 2010/12/06 dadams

Completion is available for color names, but not for RGB hex strings.
If you input an RGB hex string, it must have the form #XXXXXXXXXXXX or
XXXXXXXXXXXX, where each X is a hex digit.  The number of Xs must be a
multiple of 3, with the same number of Xs for each of red, green, and
blue.  The order is red, green, blue.

Color names that are normally considered equivalent are canonicalized:
They are lowercased, whitespace is removed, and duplicates are
eliminated.  E.g. \"LightBlue\" and \"light blue\" are both replaced
by \"lightblue\".  If you do not want this behavior, but want to
choose names that might contain whitespace or uppercase letters, then
customize option `hexrgb-canonicalize-defined-colors-flag' to nil.

In addition to standard color names and RGB hex values, the following
are available as color candidates.  In each case, the corresponding
color is used.

* `*copied foreground*'  - last copied foreground, if available
* `*copied background*'  - last copied background, if available
* `*mouse-2 foreground*' - foreground where you click `mouse-2'
* `*mouse-2 background*' - background where you click `mouse-2'
* `*point foreground*'   - foreground under the cursor
* `*point background*'   - background under the cursor

\(You can copy a color using eyedropper commands such as
`eyedrop-pick-foreground-at-mouse'.)

Optional arg PROMPT is the prompt - nil means use a default prompt.

Checks input to be sure it represents a valid color.  If not, raises
an error (but see exception for empty input with non-nil
ALLOW-EMPTY-NAME-P).

Interactively, or with optional arg CONVERT-TO-RGB-P non-nil, converts
an input color name to an RGB hex string.  Returns the RGB hex string.

Optional arg ALLOW-EMPTY-NAME-P controls what happens if you enter an
empty color name (that is, you just hit `RET').  If non-nil, then
`hexrgb-read-color' returns an empty color name, \"\".  If nil, then
it raises an error.  Calling programs must test for \"\" if
ALLOW-EMPTY-NAME-P is non-nil.  They can then perform an appropriate
action in case of empty input.
