Color contrast that works for everyone

CM-Colors automatically fixes your colors so they are easy to read. It finds similar colors that work for everyone, so you don't have to guess.

"Fortunately, there's a tool that's just come out that's going to change your life: CM-Colors. You give it your colors, and it automatically adjusts them so they're accessible, all while changing the shades as little as possible to keep your design intact."

Installation

Quick Start

Fix a single color

from cm_colors import ColorPair

# Your colors
pair = ColorPair("#999999", "#ffffff")

# Fix them and preview in the terminal
fixed_color, success = pair.make_readable(show=True)

print(f"Use {fixed_color} instead of #999999")
# Output: Use #8e8e8e instead of #999999

Fix many colors at once

from cm_colors import make_readable_bulk

my_colors = [
    ("#777", "#fff"),
    ("#888", "#000"),
]

results = make_readable_bulk(my_colors)

for color, status in results:
    print(f"{color} is {status}")

Fix CSS files

Run this in your terminal to fix all colors in a CSS file:

This creates styles_cm.css with readable colors which you can preview before you modify your original css
