Bead Colors

Context

Since several years, in the fusing beads community, we saw a bunch of Google Spreadsheet defining beads colors in color code formats. However these Sheets ofter lacks of updates or correctness.

This project aims to centralize, maintain and expose an exhaustive list of all beads colors references using GitHub.

Format

In order to prevent breaking change in the future, this repository is organized in several folders :

Folder	Description
/raw	Very simple .csv for each brands, in the following format : [reference_code, name, rgb_r, rgb_g, rgb_b, contributor] Note: Contribution should be made on this folder, orders folders will be generated with Github Actions.
/v1	[reference_code, name, rgb_r, rgb_g, rgb_b, rgb_hex, contributor]
/v2	[reference_code, name, rgb_r, rgb_g, rgb_b, hsl_h, hsl_s, hsl_l, lab_l, lab_a, lab_b, contributor]
/v3	[reference_code, name, symbol, rgb_r, rgb_g, rgb_b, hsl_h, hsl_s, hsl_l, lab_l, lab_a, lab_b, contributor]

Contribution

Simply create a PR applying modification under /raw folder only.

Automation

Goal of automation are multiple :

1. Maintain only raw folder, contains minimal data, only [ref, name, r, g, b, contributor]
2. Enhance the raw folder by adding new fields to each color reference (eg: hex, hsl, lab)
3. Generate bunch of format (eg: csv, json, yaml)

v1 folder is more a proof of concept of what it could be done in a later time.
