About

Colors from the KIT corporate design color scheme.

Here's a list of strings for HEX:

[
  "#ffffff", // white
  "#000000", // black
  "#009682", // green
  "#4664aa", // blue
  "#8cb63c", // maygreen
  "#fce500", // yellow
  "#df9b1b", // orange
  "#a7822e", // brown
  "#a22223", // red
  "#a3107c", // purple
  "#23a1e0", // cyan
]

Here's a dictionary for HEX:

colors = {
    "white": "#ffffff",
    "black": "#000000",
    "green": "#009682",
    "blue": "#4664aa",
    "maygreen": "#8cb63c",
    "yellow": "#fce500",
    "orange": "#df9b1b",
    "brown": "#a7822e",
    "red": "#a22223",
    "purple": "#a3107c",
    "cyan": "#23a1e0",
}

Here's some LaTeX code:

\usepackage{xcolor}

\definecolor{white}{RGB}{255,255,255}
\definecolor{black}{RGB}{0,0,0}
\definecolor{green}{RGB}{0,150,130}
\definecolor{blue}{RGB}{0,100,170}
\definecolor{maygreen}{RGB}{140,182,60}
\definecolor{yellow}{RGB}{252,229,0}
\definecolor{orange}{RGB}{223,155,27}
\definecolor{brown}{RGB}{167,130,46}
\definecolor{red}{RGB}{162,34,35}
\definecolor{purple}{RGB}{163,16,124}
\definecolor{cyan}{RGB}{35,161,224}

The RGB values listed in the image are integers from 0 to 255, taken from the corporate design guide. These values are then divided by 255 and consequently lie between 0 and 1. This is the format that matplotlib needs.

Install

pip install kitcolors

Usage in Python

All colors have RGB, rgb, and hex attributes. Furthermore, there exist RGBa, rgba, and hexa methods that take alpha as an additional argument.

>>> from kitcolors import green
>>> green.rgb
(0.0, 0.5882352941176471, 0.5098039215686274)
>>> green.RGB
(0, 150, 130)
>>> green.hex
'#009682'
>>> green.rgba(0.2)
(0.0, 0.5882352941176471, 0.5098039215686274, 0.2)
>>> green.RGBa(0.2)
(0, 150, 130, 0.2)
>>> green.hexa(0.2)
'#00968233'
