Palettes

Functions​

colors()​

colors<S, F>(shade?, value?): Swatch<F, S>

Returns TailwindCSS color value(s) from the default palette.

The function behaves as follows:

  • If called with both shade and value parameters, it returns that color as a hex string. For example 'blue' and '500' would return the equivalent of blue-500.
  • If called with no parameters or just the 'all' parameter as the shade, it returns an array of colors from '050' to '900' for every shade.
  • If the shade is 'all' and the value is specified, it returns an array of colors at the specified value for each shade.
tip

To specify '050' as a number you just pass 50. Values are all valid as string or number for example '100' and100 .

Type Parameters​

β€’ S extends ScaleValues

β€’ F extends Tailwind

Parameters​

β€’ shade?: F | "all"

The hue family to return.

β€’ value?: S

The tone value of the shade. Values are in incrementals of 100. For example numeric (100) and its string equivalent ('100') are valid.

Returns​

Swatch<F, S>

Example​

import { colors } from "huetiful-js";

// We pass in red as the target hue.
// It returns a function that can be called with an optional value parameter
console.log(colors('red'));
// [
'#fef2f2', '#fee2e2',
'#fecaca', '#fca5a5',
'#f87171', '#ef4444',
'#dc2626', '#b91c1c',
