Color Utilities

The Color utilities provide functions for working with different color formats and performing conversions.

Functions

oklchToRgb

function oklchToRgb(oklchString)

Converts an OKLCH color string to an RGB object. Handles potential out-of-gamut colors by clamping the final RGB values. Based on https://bottosson.github.io/posts/oklab/.

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
oklchStringstringThe color string in the format “oklch(L C H)” or “oklch(L, C, H)”. L: Lightness (0-1), C: Chroma (0-~0.4), H: Hue (0-360).

Returns

An object with r, g, b properties (0-255), or null if the input string is invalid.

Example

import { oklchToRgb } from '@semantic-ui/utils';


// Convert a specific OKLCH color (approx. red)
const rgbRed = oklchToRgb('oklch(0.628 0.257 29.23)');
console.log(rgbRed); // { r: 255, g: 0, b: 0 }


// Convert gray
const rgbGray = oklchToRgb('oklch(0.5, 0, 0)');
console.log(rgbGray); // { r: 119, g: 119, b: 119 }


// Handle invalid input
const invalid = oklchToRgb('not a color');
console.log(invalid); // null

oklchToHex

function oklchToHex(oklchString)

Converts an OKLCH color string to a hex color string (e.g., “#RRGGBB”). This function internally uses oklchToRgb.

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
oklchStringstringThe color string in the format “oklch(L C H)” or “oklch(L, C, H)”.

Returns

The hex color string (e.g., “#FF0000”) or null if the input string is invalid.

Example

import { oklchToHex } from '@semantic-ui/utils';


// Convert a specific OKLCH color (approx. red)
const hexRed = oklchToHex('oklch(0.628 0.257 29.23)');
console.log(hexRed); // "#ff0000"


// Convert gray
const hexGray = oklchToHex('oklch(0.5, 0, 0)');
console.log(hexGray); // "#777777"


// Handle invalid input
const invalidHex = oklchToHex('not a color');
console.log(invalidHex); // null
