Prism 🌈 #

An optimized, zero-dependency color manipulation library for Dart & Flutter with multiple color models, accessibility tools, and pre-built palettes.

See prism_flutter which adds Flutter specific extensions.

• Repository on GitHub
• Package on Pub.dev
• Documentation
• Flutter package

Features #

• 🎨 Multiple color models: RGB (8-bit & 16-bit), HSL, Oklab, and Oklch with seamless conversion
• 🎭 Accessibility schemes: WCAG-compliant color schemes with optimal contrast
• 🎨 Pre-built palettes: Material, CSS, Spectrum, and OpenColor palettes
• 📱 Flutter compatible: Perfect conversion to/from Flutter's Color class
• ⚡ High performance: Zero dependencies with optimized bit operations
• 🌐 Web standards: RGBA/ARGB hex format support

Quick Start #

import 'package:prism/prism.dart';

// Create and convert colors
final red = RayRgb8.fromHex('#FF0000');
final redInOklch = red.toOklch();
final darkRed = redInOklch.withLightness(0.3);
print(darkRed.toRgb8().toHex()); // #521711

Color Models #

Prism supports multiple color models with seamless conversion:

RayRgb8 & RayRgb16 (Red, Green, Blue) #

final red8 = RayRgb8.fromHex('#FF0000');
final red16 = RayRgb16.fromComponents(220, 137, 180);
final transparent = red8.withOpacity(0.5);
print(red8.toHex()); // #FF0000

RayHsl (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) #

final orange = RayHsl.fromComponents(30, 0.8, 0.6);
final shifted = orange.withHue(orange.hue + 60);
print(orange.hueDistance(shifted)); // 60.0°

RayOklab (Perceptually Uniform Color Space) #

final blue = RayOklab.fromComponents(0.452, -0.032, -0.312);
final red = RayOklab.fromComponents(0.628, 0.225, 0.126);
final midpoint = blue.lerp(red, 0.5); // Perceptually uniform

RayOklch (Cylindrical Oklab with Intuitive Controls) #

final green = RayOklch.fromComponents(0.7, 0.15, 120.0);
final desaturated = green.withChroma(0.05);
final complementary = green.withHue(green.h + 180);

Easy Conversion #

final red = RayRgb8.fromHex('#FF0000');
final hsl = red.toHsl();    // RGB → HSL
final oklch = red.toOklch(); // RGB → Oklch
final back = hsl.toRgb8();  // HSL → RGB

Performance #

Optimized for performance with efficient bit operations, minimal allocations, and zero dependencies.

Color Palettes #

Prism includes extensive pre-built color palettes with accessibility-focused schemes:

Available Palettes #

Spectrum (Prim's own color palette)

Material Colors

Open Color

CSS Colors

CSS versions of all palettes are also available in the palette_gallery/ directory for web development use.

Usage #

import 'package:prism/palettes/rgb/spectrum.dart';
final primaryBlue = SpectrumRgb.blue.source;
final darkBlue = SpectrumRgb.blue.shade700;
