Color Brightness Calculator checks hex color brightness to classify values as light, dark, or medium, returning RGB components. Paid plans add WCAG contrast ratios, luminance scores, and recommended text colors.
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
