Chameleon
Chameleon is a color framework for Swift and Objective-C applications. It provides systems for programmatic color palette generation, global theme orchestration, hexadecimal conversion, and the extraction of visual data from images.
The library includes a dynamic theme engine for applying global visual styles and luminance adjustments across an interface. It features a palette generator for creating analogous, complementary, and triadic color schemes based on a seed color, and an image color extractor to derive average colors or palettes from images.
The framework covers a range of color management capabilities, including hexadecimal string conversion with alpha transparency support, multi-color gradient generation, and the calculation of high-contrast foreground colors for text legibility. It also provides utilities for color flattening and luminance adjustments.
Features
- Color Frameworks - Acts as a comprehensive color framework for managing palettes, gradients, and themes within Swift and Objective-C mobile applications.
- Global Theme Instances - Provides a centralized theme engine to manage primary colors and visual styles across the entire application.
- Seed-Based Palette Generators - Programmatically generates analogous, complementary, and triadic color palettes based on a single seed color.
- Dominant Color Samplers - Analyzes bitmap images to determine dominant colors for the creation of dynamic interface themes.
- Hex Parsers - Parses hexadecimal color strings into internal representations for uniform color manipulation.
- Hexadecimal Color Parsers - Converts hex-formatted color strings into RGBA components, including support for alpha transparency.
- Color Palette Generators - Programmatically generates consistent color shade ranges and schemes from a single input color.
- Image-Based Color Generators - Extracts dominant colors from images to automatically adapt the user interface's visual theme.
- Image Color Extractors - Analyzes images to identify dominant colors for the purpose of generating UI color palettes.
- Color Schemes - Defines and applies coordinated color palettes across user interface elements.
- Contrast Color Calculators - Dynamically determines the most legible foreground color by calculating the perceived brightness of the background.
- Hex to RGB Converters - Implements functions to convert hexadecimal color strings into RGB components for native color object instantiation.
- Dynamic Theme Engines - Ships a dynamic theme engine for applying global visual styles and luminance adjustments across the entire interface.
- UI Styling Frameworks - Provides a comprehensive system for designing consistent visual themes and color schemes in Swift and Objective-C applications.
- Gradient Generators - Creates smooth color transitions by mapping colors to defined stops for use in UI elements.
- Gradient Color Calculators - Calculates mathematical color transitions for generating linear gradients in backgrounds and text.
- Luminance Adjusters - Allows changing the brightness of a color by a specific percentage to create variations of a base shade.
- Gradient Styling - Enables setting background, text, or tint properties to multi-color gradients for enhanced visual depth.
- Color Manipulation Utilities - Provides a suite of functions for mixing, lightening, darkening, and interpolating colors from various sources.
- Developer Utilities - Color framework for flat UI design.
- UI Components - Lightweight and powerful flat color framework.
- Xcode Plugins - Framework for flat color palettes.

How this analysis was created: This summary and feature list were written by an AI model that read the project's README and public documentation pages. Each feature links to the documentation it came from; stars, license and language come straight from the GitHub API. The model does not read the source code, and the analysis is refreshed when the project is re-analysed. Learn more on our About page.
