The package provides a Python 3 version of the
[R colorspace](http://colorspace.R-Forge.R-project.org/) package comprising:

- **Color spaces:** Conversions and manipulations of RGB, HSV, CIEXYZ, CIELAB, CIELUV, HCL etc.
- **HCL-based palettes:** Qualitative, sequential, and diverging color maps constructed
  using the HCL (hue-chroma-luminance) color model. These can closely approximate palettes
  from ColorBrewer.org, CARTO, viridis, or Crameri's scientific color maps.
- **matplotlib color maps:** Integration with [matplotlib](https://matplotlib.org/) for
  use in standard plotting functions.
- **Palette visualization:** Plotting palettes in color swatches, spectrums of HCL and/or
  RGB trajectories, and illustrations of typical data visualizations.
- **Interactive palette chooser:** App for exploring, modifying, and picking color
  palettes interactively.
- **Color vision deficiency:** Emulation of different kinds of color blindness.
- **Utilities:** Various color manipulations including tools to desaturate, lighten, darken,
  adjust the transparency, or compute the contrast ratio.
