Hex about color-space

[dy]

hex is actually rgb color space. Prob you want to see color-parse or color-stringify

I came here looking for this too. As I see it there's two ways of representing rgb colour space - they're equivalent. It would be great to support both as I suspect many users will be needing to work with one of them.

Can you elaborate use-case?

@dy I should preface to say this library was really useful, and did what I needed 👍

---

My use case was for two things:

• I had an array of hsl values that I needed in hex for display purposes. I'd assumed a library that converts colours would support hex.
• I then had some hex values that I wanted to convert to hsl to work on them.

Following your link to color-parse above, this is what I ended up using:

let rgb = rgbToHex(round(space.lab.rgb(pantone.records[colour].lab))).toUpperCase()
let hsl = space.rgb.hsl(colorParse(`#${colour}`).values)

Where rgbToHex was a function I grabbed from stack overflow.

Possibly I've done these in a cumbersome way - but if not it would have been really helpful if this could have been built in. To do the conversion has needed to require round as well as the color-parse library.

If you don't want to include, a note in the readme would have been helpful. I was confused and thought I was misunderstanding things because it seemed intuitive to me that a colour parsing library would support one of the more common colour formats.
