Colour Science for Python

Project mention: Tailwind Color Palette Generator | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-02

Colour Science is one of the more serious projects I know of, and more or less lets you get as advanced as you want. Used by film professionals among others. https://www.colour-science.org/
How would you define what the perfect color tool is? I would guess like most tools that it depends entirely on the job at hand, and that maybe no one perfect tool can exist. Colour Science might be great at serious color management and perceptual measurements and conversions between standardized color spaces, but not the right tool for a web developer looking for quick & easy way to make an HSV palette generation widget (and not because Colour Science is Python, but because it’s too big and heavy of a hammer).
