- :mod:`colorsys` --- Conversions between color systems
- =====================================================
- .. module:: colorsys
- :synopsis: Conversion functions between RGB and other color systems.
- .. sectionauthor:: David Ascher <da@python.net>
- The :mod:`colorsys` module defines bidirectional conversions of color values
- between colors expressed in the RGB (Red Green Blue) color space used in
- computer monitors and three other coordinate systems: YIQ, HLS (Hue Lightness
- Saturation) and HSV (Hue Saturation Value). Coordinates in all of these color
- spaces are floating point values. In the YIQ space, the Y coordinate is between
- 0 and 1, but the I and Q coordinates can be positive or negative. In all other
- spaces, the coordinates are all between 0 and 1.

- More information about color spaces can be found at
- http://www.poynton.com/ColorFAQ.html and
- http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/color-spaces.htm.
- The :mod:`colorsys` module defines the following functions:
- .. function:: rgb_to_yiq(r, g, b)
- Convert the color from RGB coordinates to YIQ coordinates.
- .. function:: yiq_to_rgb(y, i, q)
- Convert the color from YIQ coordinates to RGB coordinates.
- .. function:: rgb_to_hls(r, g, b)
- Convert the color from RGB coordinates to HLS coordinates.
- .. function:: hls_to_rgb(h, l, s)
- Convert the color from HLS coordinates to RGB coordinates.
- .. function:: rgb_to_hsv(r, g, b)
- Convert the color from RGB coordinates to HSV coordinates.
- .. function:: hsv_to_rgb(h, s, v)
- Convert the color from HSV coordinates to RGB coordinates.
- Example::
- >>> import colorsys
- >>> colorsys.rgb_to_hsv(.3, .4, .2)
- (0.25, 0.5, 0.4)
- >>> colorsys.hsv_to_rgb(0.25, 0.5, 0.4)
- (0.3, 0.4, 0.2)
