colorsys --- Conversions between color systemsSource code: Lib/colorsys.py
[UNKNOWN NODE transition]The 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.

The colorsys module defines the following functions:
colorsys.rgb_to_yiq(r, g, b)[source]
Convert the color from RGB coordinates to YIQ coordinates.
colorsys.yiq_to_rgb(y, i, q)[source]
Convert the color from YIQ coordinates to RGB coordinates.
colorsys.rgb_to_hls(r, g, b)[source]
Convert the color from RGB coordinates to HLS coordinates.
colorsys.hls_to_rgb(h, l, s)[source]
Convert the color from HLS coordinates to RGB coordinates.
colorsys.rgb_to_hsv(r, g, b)[source]
Convert the color from RGB coordinates to HSV coordinates.
colorsys.hsv_to_rgb(h, s, v)[source]
Convert the color from HSV coordinates to RGB coordinates.
Example:
>>> import colorsys
>>> colorsys.rgb_to_hsv(0.2, 0.4, 0.4)
(0.5, 0.5, 0.4)
>>> colorsys.hsv_to_rgb(0.5, 0.5, 0.4)
(0.2, 0.4, 0.4)
