Nitrocid KS uses Terminaux to manipulate with the colors and configure them for the kernel to use. The kernel employs several of the color types for the kernel components, your addons, or your mods to use when writing text using the Nitrocid's console writer.
The ConsoleBase namespace contains a namespace dedicated to color management called Colors that contains a plenty of useful tools for kernel color manipulation. Currently, it contains the following classes:
KernelColorConversionTools
It also contains the following enumerations for different tools:
KernelColorSetErrorReasons
Scroll down in this page to get started with the list of amazing color tools. For the general color tools, you may consult the Terminaux manual:
Color types
Nitrocid KS provides you with the following color types to help you make an inspiring theme with nice colors for each type:
Color selector
The color selector is an interactive TUI that allows you to seamlessly select your favorite color, while getting information about it in the main screen, such as the converted color models, the color levels, and more.
To get information about how to use it, you can find it in the Terminaux manual page:
Color conversion
Your theme files can also support any specifier, as long as the specifier is supported by Terminaux. For a quick reminder, Terminaux supports the three true-color specifiers, alongside the color name or the color number, if you intend to use another color model to select colors:
RGB: Red, Green, and Blue.
where the three variables can be from 0 to 255.
RYB: Red, Yellow, and Blue.
where the three variables can be from 0 to 255.
CMYK: Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow with the Black Key.
cmyk:<CCC>;<MMM>;<YYY>;<KKK>
where these variables can be from 0 to 100.
CMY: Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow.
where these variables can be from 0 to 100.
HSL: Hue, Saturation, and Luminance (or Lightness).
where the Hue can be from 0 to 360 degrees and not radians.
where the Saturation and the Luminance can be from 0 to 100.
HSV: Hue, Saturation, and Value.
where the Hue can be from 0 to 360 degrees and not radians.
where the Saturation and the Luminance can be from 0 to 100.
The commands provided by the color conversion Extras addon help you convert from a color model, such as RGB, to another color model, such as CMYK.
KernelColorConversionTools provides you all possible conversion methods to convert a color model to another color model to generate appropriate color specifiers converted to the target unit to create new Color instances for your mod's appearance.
For example, if you have Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow values and you want a hex code of it, you can use one of the following function overloads of ConvertFromCmykToHex():
ConvertFromCmykToHex(int C, int M, int Y, int K)
ConvertFromCmykToHex(string CMYKSequence)
