Chroma.js is a small, zero-dependency JavaScript library for color conversions, manipulation, and color scale generation. It supports reading and outputting colors in many formats, interpolation in various color spaces, and building palettes for maps and data visualization.

Use cases

• convert colors between hex, rgb, hsl, lab formats
• generate color scales for data visualization
• create color palettes for choropleth maps
• darken or saturate colors programmatically
• interpolate colors in lab or lch color space
• build logarithmic or quantile color scales

When to choose

• you need robust color conversion and manipulation in JavaScript
• you're building maps or charts and need perceptually uniform color scales
• you want a small zero-dependency color library

When to avoid

• you need full CSS color functions or design-tool features
• you're working outside JavaScript or the browser/Node ecosystem
