Color System

The color reference hub for dartwork-mpl. Browse complete palette sheets, explore colormap collections, and dive into the Color class for programmatic manipulation in perceptually uniform color spaces.

Looking for a quick how-to? See the Colors and Colormaps guide for practical usage patterns, named color shortcuts, and mixing utilities.

Color class & interpolation

The Color class provides perceptually uniform manipulation in OKLab/OKLCH space — adjust hue, saturation, and lightness with predictable results, and build smooth custom gradients.
