Color Plus is a simple plugin that adds a small set of components that make the creation and previewing of color palettes and conversion to Hex and OLE web-friendly color formats easy.

All Color Plus components are populated to the existing Display tab.

Display Tab > Preview Panel

• Preview Colors is a utility component that takes a list of colors and displays them as stacked swatches with options to resize each swatch, label it, and add/remove a border.

Display Tab > Colour Panel

Color Space

• ToHex returns the hex string of an input color.
• ToOLE returns the ole integer of an input color.
• FromOLE returns the color from an ole input.

Utitlites

• Invert takes a color and subtracts each channel from 255 returning the inverted color
• Tween Colors takes two input colors and interpolates between their channels based on a unitized parameter, returning the color at the given percent between the source and target color.
• Average Colors takes a list of colors and sums their values then divides the result by the total number of samples returning an averages color.
• Construct Gradient takes a list of colors and an optional matching set of parameters and creates a new gradient from these stops that is then sampled by a unitized input, returning the color at the given parameter
• Color Sets uses the Harmony Library to return lists of colors based on a color input and selection type such as Complementary, Analogous, Triad, Tetradic, and a series of other variations. Harmony Library: https://github.com/aloisdg/Harmony
• Color Collections provides a series of standard color palettes to choose from. Each palette is either pulled from the system or is a pre-populated list from common web and desktop color palettes including Material and D3. Collections with an asterisk (*) before their name have subsets in the collection that filter the results. For example, Material has a range of brightness subsets to choose from. The result is a list of colors and their associated collection names.
