Output: JSON with all five formats, nearest CSS color name, contrast ratio vs black and white, and a generated shade/tint palette. $0.01 per color converted. - **URL**: https://apify.com/eliai/color-converter.md - **Developed by:** [Anthony Snider](https://apify.com/eliai) (community) - **Categories:** Developer tools, Automation - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing $10.00 / 1,000 color converteds This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Color Format Converter Convert any color across every format developers actually use — HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV, CMYK — and get the nearest CSS color name, WCAG contrast ratios, and a ready-to-use shade/tint palette. One call, one color, everything you need. **Live on the Apify Store — run it instantly or call it as an agent tool via Apify MCP.** ### What you get For each color you pass in: - **Every format**: `hex`, `rgb`, `hsl`, `hsv`, `cmyk` (with copy-ready CSS strings) - **Nearest CSS named color** by RGB distance (with exact-match flag) - **WCAG contrast** vs black and white — ratio plus AA/AAA pass flags for normal and large text - **Palette**: 5 darker shades + 5 lighter tints, as hex - Accepts HEX, `rgb()`, `hsl()`, `hsv()`, or CSS names (`rebeccapurple`) — single or bulk ### Input ```json { "color": "#3498db", "colors": ["rebeccapurple", "rgb(255, 99, 71)", "hsl(204, 70%, 53%)"], "maxItems": 50 } ```` Provide `color`, `colors`, or both. `maxItems` caps the run (default 50). ### Output ```json { "input": "#3498db", "hex": "#3498db", "rgb": { "r": 52, "g": 152, "b": 219, "css": "rgb(52, 152, 219)" }, "hsl": { "h": 204, "s": 70, "l": 53, "css": "hsl(204, 70%, 53%)" }, "hsv": { "h": 204, "s": 76, "v": 86 }, "cmyk": { "c": 76, "m": 31, "y": 0, "k": 14, "css": "cmyk(76%, 31%, 0%, 14%)" }, "nearestName": { "name": "steelblue", "hex": "#4682b4", "exact": false, "distance": 64.42 }, "contrast": { "vsBlack": { "ratio": 5.67, "AA_normal": true, "AA_large": true, "AAA_normal": false, "AAA_large": true }, "vsWhite": { "ratio": 3.71, "AA_normal": false, "AA_large": true, "AAA_normal": false, "AAA_large": false } }, "palette": { "shades": ["#2b7eb6", "#296f9f", "#205778", "#163d54", "#0d2530"], "tints": ["#52a4df", "#71b3e3", "#92c4e9", "#b4d6ef", "#d5e8f6"] } } ``` # Actor input Schema ## `color` (type: `string`): A single color in HEX (#3498db), rgb(), hsl(), hsv(), or a CSS color name (rebeccapurple). ## `colors` (type: `array`): Optional list of colors to convert in one run. Each item is a HEX, rgb(), hsl(), hsv(), or CSS name string. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of colors to convert per run. ## Actor input object example ```json { "color": "#3498db", "colors": [ "rebeccapurple", "rgb(255, 99, 71)", "hsl(204, 70%, 53%)" ], "maxItems": 50 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "color": "#3498db", "colors": [ "rebeccapurple", "rgb(255, 99, 71)", "hsl(204, 70%, 53%)" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("eliai/color-converter").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
