🎨 ChromaKit #

A lightweight and professional Flutter toolkit for dynamic color manipulation and accessibility.

ChromaKit simplifies common UI design challenges in Flutter such as:

• Creating pastel shades
• Managing transparency safely
• Ensuring accessible text contrast
• Parsing hex colors without crashes
• Lightening and darkening colors programmatically

Clean API. Zero complexity. Production ready.

✨ Features #

🟢 Smart Transparency #

Set alpha using a safe fraction (0.0 – 1.0) with automatic clamping.

final transparentBlue = Colors.blue.withAlphaFactor(0.5);

🎨 Pastel Blending (Faint) #

Create soft pastel versions of colors by blending with white while preserving original alpha.

final pastelRed = Colors.red.faint(0.8);

♿ Adaptive Contrast #

Automatically detect whether black or white provides better readability.

Color textColor = myBackgroundColor.contrastColor;

bool isDark = myColor.isDark;

Perfect for:

• Buttons
• Cards
• Dynamic themes
• Accessibility-friendly UI

🔢 Safe Hex Utilities #

Convert Color → Hex

String hex = Colors.blue.toHex();
// Output: #FF2196F3

Parse Hex → Color

Supports:

• #RRGGBB
• #AARRGGBB
• Shorthand #FFF

Color myColor = ChromaKit.fromHex('#FF6200EE');

Built-in validation prevents crashes from invalid input.

🌗 Shade Manipulation #

Easily lighten or darken any color using simple factor-based methods.

final darker = Colors.blue.darken(0.2);
final lighter = Colors.blue.lighten(0.2);
