#pod =head1 DESCRIPTION
#pod
#pod This module is a Perl implementation of Color Schemes
#pod 2 (L<http://wellstyled.com/tools/colorscheme2/>), a color scheme generator.
#pod Start by visiting the Color Schemes 2 web site and playing with the colors.
#pod When you want to generate those schemes on the fly, begin using this module.
#pod The descriptions herein don't make too much sense without actually seeing the
#pod colorful results.
#pod
#pod Henceforth, paragraphs in quotes denote documentation copied from Color Schemes 2.
#pod
#pod "Important note: This tool I<doesn't use the standard HSV or HSB model> (the
#pod same HSV/HSB values ie. in Photoshop describe different colors!). The color
#pod wheel used here differs from the RGB spectre used on computer screens, it's
#pod more in accordance with the classical color theory. This is also why some
#pod colors (especially shades of blue) make less bright shades than the basic
#pod colors of the RGB-model. In plus, the RGB-model uses red-green-blue as primary
#pod colors, but the red-yellow-blue combination is used here. This deformation also
#pod causes incompatibility in color conversions from RGB-values. Therefore, the RGB
#pod input (eg. the HTML hex values like #F854A9) is not exact, the conversion is
#pod rough and sometimes may produce slightly different color."
#pod
#pod =method new
#pod
#pod The C<new> method will return a new C<Color::Scheme> object.

#pod =method colors
#pod
#pod Returns an array of 4, 8, 12 or 16 colors in C<RRGGBB> hexidecimal notation
#pod (without a leading "#") depending on the color scheme and addComplement
#pod parameter. For each set of four, the first is usually the most saturated color,
#pod the second a darkened version, the third a pale version and fourth
#pod a less-pale version.
#pod
#pod For example: With a contrast scheme, L<"colors()"> would return eight colors.
#pod Indexes 1 and 5 could be background colors, 2 and 6 could be foreground colors.
#pod
#pod Trust me, it's much better if you check out the Color Scheme web site, whose
#pod URL is listed in in L<"DESCRIPTION">.

#pod =method colorset
#pod
#pod Returns a list of lists of the colors in groups of four. This method simply
#pod allows you to reference a color in the scheme by its group isntead of its
#pod absolute index in the list of colors. I am assuming that L<"colorset()">
#pod will make it easier to use this module with the templating systems that are
#pod out there.
#pod
#pod For example, if you were to follow the synopsis, say you wanted to retrieve
#pod the two darkest colors from the first two groups of the scheme, which is
#pod typically the second color in the group. You could retrieve them with
#pod L<"colors()">:
#pod
#pod my $first_background = ($scheme->colors)[1];
#pod my $second_background = ($scheme->colors)[5];

#pod Or, with this method,
#pod
#pod my $first_background = $scheme->colorset->[0][1];
#pod my $second_background = $scheme->colorset->[1][1];

=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module is a Perl implementation of Color Schemes
2 (L<http://wellstyled.com/tools/colorscheme2/>), a color scheme generator.
Start by visiting the Color Schemes 2 web site and playing with the colors.
When you want to generate those schemes on the fly, begin using this module.
The descriptions herein don't make too much sense without actually seeing the
colorful results.
Henceforth, paragraphs in quotes denote documentation copied from Color Schemes 2.
"Important note: This tool I<doesn't use the standard HSV or HSB model> (the
same HSV/HSB values ie. in Photoshop describe different colors!). The color
wheel used here differs from the RGB spectre used on computer screens, it's
more in accordance with the classical color theory. This is also why some
colors (especially shades of blue) make less bright shades than the basic
colors of the RGB-model. In plus, the RGB-model uses red-green-blue as primary
colors, but the red-yellow-blue combination is used here. This deformation also
causes incompatibility in color conversions from RGB-values. Therefore, the RGB
input (eg. the HTML hex values like #F854A9) is not exact, the conversion is
rough and sometimes may produce slightly different color."
=head1 PERL VERSION
This library should run on perls released even a long time ago. It should work
on any version of perl released in the last five years.
Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the
minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased
for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower
the minimum required perl.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 new
The C<new> method will return a new C<Color::Scheme> object.
=head2 colors
Returns an array of 4, 8, 12 or 16 colors in C<RRGGBB> hexidecimal notation
(without a leading "#") depending on the color scheme and addComplement
parameter. For each set of four, the first is usually the most saturated color,
the second a darkened version, the third a pale version and fourth
a less-pale version.
For example: With a contrast scheme, L<"colors()"> would return eight colors.
Indexes 1 and 5 could be background colors, 2 and 6 could be foreground colors.
Trust me, it's much better if you check out the Color Scheme web site, whose
URL is listed in in L<"DESCRIPTION">.
=head2 colorset
Returns a list of lists of the colors in groups of four. This method simply
allows you to reference a color in the scheme by its group isntead of its
absolute index in the list of colors. I am assuming that L<"colorset()">
will make it easier to use this module with the templating systems that are
out there.
For example, if you were to follow the synopsis, say you wanted to retrieve
the two darkest colors from the first two groups of the scheme, which is
typically the second color in the group. You could retrieve them with
L<"colors()">:
my $first_background = ($scheme->colors)[1];
my $second_background = ($scheme->colors)[5];
Or, with this method,
my $first_background = $scheme->colorset->[0][1];
my $second_background = $scheme->colorset->[1][1];
=head2 from_hue
$scheme->from_hue( $degrees )
Sets the base color hue, where C<degrees> is an integer. (Values greater than
359 and less than 0 wrap back around the wheel.)
The default base hue is 0, or bright red.
=head2 from_hex
$scheme->from_hex( $color )
Sets the base color to the given color, where C<color> is in the hexidecimal
form RRGGBB. C<color> should not be preceded with a hash (#).
The default base color is the equivalent of #ff0000, or bright red.
=head2 add_complement
$scheme->add_complement( $bool )
If C<$bool> is true, an extra set of colors will be produced using the
complement of the selected color.
This only works with the analogic color scheme. The default is false.
=head2 web_safe
$scheme->web_safe( $bool )
Sets whether the colors returned by L<"colors()"> or L<"colorset()"> will be
web-safe.
The default is false.
=head2 distance
$scheme->distance( $float )
C<$float> must be a value from 0 to 1. You might use this with the L<"triade">,
L<"tetrade"> or L<"analogic"> color schemes.
The default is 0.5.
=head2 scheme
$scheme->scheme( $name )
C<$name> must be a valid color scheme name. See L<"COLOR SCHEMES">. The default
is L<"mono">.
=head2 variation
$scheme->variation( $name )
C<$name> must be a valid color variation name. See L<"COLOR VARIATIONS">.
=head1 COLOR SCHEMES
The following documentation is adapated (and mostly copied verbatim) from the
Color Schemes 2 help. Use one of these scheme names as an argument to the
L<"scheme()"> method.
