Question 1

color2k vs polished: which is better for my project?

Accepted Answer

Choose color2k if bundle size is critical—it's under 3kB versus polished's 11.2kB, offering similar essential functions. Opt for polished if you need more features like mixins or advanced color conversions, as color2k focuses on minimalism for web use.

Question 2

How to darken a color using color2k?

Accepted Answer

Import the darken function and call it with a color string and amount, e.g., `darken('blue', 0.1)` to darken by 10%. It returns an rgba or hsla string ready for CSS, as shown in the usage examples.

Question 3

Can color2k handle hex colors with transparency?

Accepted Answer

Yes, color2k can parse hex colors with alpha channels (e.g., #RRGGBBAA) and output them as rgba or hsla strings. It supports various input formats for browser-compatible manipulation.

Question 4

Is color2k good for Node.js or server-side rendering?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it works in Node.js environments since it's a JavaScript library, but its optimization is for browser CSS-in-JS. Install via npm and use it in any JS runtime, though features are tailored for web color output.

Question 5

What color formats does color2k support as input?

Accepted Answer

It supports common formats like hex, RGB, HSL, and named colors, parsing them into sRGB for manipulation. However, output is limited to rgba and hsla, as stated in the README.

Question 6

How to reduce bundle size further with color2k?

Accepted Answer

Use tree-shaking by importing only specific functions, e.g., `import { darken } from 'color2k'`. This can drop the bundle to 2.1kB, as demonstrated on bundlejs.com links in the README.
