Color Brightness Calculator is a tool for calculating color brightness and luminance. It determines if a color is light or dark using WCAG 2.0 standards and provides contrast ratios for accessibility compliance.
The Color Brightness Calculator API provides a simple, reliable way to integrate color brightness calculator functionality into your applications. Built for developers who need production-ready color brightness calculator capabilities without the complexity of building from scratch.
Quick Start
Using JavaScript
async function callColorBrightnessCalculatorAPI() {
try {
const params = new URLSearchParams({
hex: 'FF5733'
});
const response = await fetch(`https://api.apiverve.com/v1/colorbrightness?${params}`, {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'x-api-key': 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'
}
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error:', error);
}
}
callColorBrightnessCalculatorAPI();Using cURL
curl -X GET "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/colorbrightness?hex=FF5733" \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"Get your API key: https://apiverve.com
