Introduction Modules Color

Color

Usine provides modules for creating, converting, mixing, and transforming colors. Most modules work with both single colors and color arrays, making them suitable for lighting, LED strips, pixel mapping, and video overlays.

Category	Modules	Description
Color Space Conversion	5	Convert between RGB, HSL, CMYK, CIELAB, and other color formats
Color Adjustment	5	Dimmer, opacity, saturation/luminance, complementary, and full color transformer
Color Mixing	3	Mix or crossfade between multiple colors, smooth transitions
Color Palette	2	Pick colors from a visual palette or by palette index number
Color Arrays	7	Generate, combine, multiply, display, and decompose color arrays

Color Space Conversion

Convert colors between different color spaces and formats.

Module	Description
Color RGB	Convert between Usine color and Red, Green, Blue, Alpha components
Color HSL	Convert between Usine color and Hue, Saturation, Luminance components
Color CMYK	Convert between Usine color and Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black components
Color CIELAB	Map X,Y coordinates to the CIELAB perceptual color space
Color Change Format	Reorder color channels: RGB, BRG, BGR, GBR, GRB, RBG, or YUV

Color Adjustment

Modify color properties such as brightness, opacity, saturation, and generate derived colors.

Module	Description
Color Dimmer	Apply intensity dimmer to a color and extract R, G, B (and optionally W) values
Color Opacity	Change the alpha/opacity of a color or color array
Color Change Saturation Luminance	Adjust the saturation and luminance of a color
Color Complementary	Return the complementary color
Color Transformer	Generate a full set of derived colors: complementary, triadic, contrasted, lighter, darker

Color Mixing

Blend multiple colors together or smooth color transitions over time.

Module	Description
Color Mix Mixer	N-input color mixer: blend colors according to an array of mix values
Color Mix Selector	N-input color selector with smooth crossfade between adjacent inputs
Color Smooth	Smooth abrupt color changes into progressive transitions (configurable time in ms)

Color Palette

Select colors from built-in palettes.

Module	Description
Color Palette	Visual color picker with palette UI
Color Palette Number	Get a color from Usine's built-in palette by index number

Color Arrays

Create, combine, and display arrays of colors — useful for LED strips, pixel mapping, and DMX lighting.

Module	Description
Color Array Random	Generate a random color array with controllable R, G, B, A amounts
Color Array Add	Add two color arrays together (RGB addition)
Color Array Mult	Multiply a color array by an array of dimmer values [0..1]
Color Array Concat	Concatenate color arrays end-to-end
Color Array to Colors	Split a color array into individual color outputs
Color Array Display	Display a color array as a matrix of colored points
