PostCSS Blend Colors Plugin
The PostCSS Blend Colors plugin is designed to simplify the process of blending colors within CSS declarations. It utilizes the chroma-js library to perform color blending operations, allowing developers to define custom color blends using a mix() function in their stylesheets.
Motivation
The motivation behind this plugin is to provide a seamless way for web developers to incorporate custom color blending effects into their stylesheets. While CSS already supports basic color blending modes, the mix() function allows developers to define their own blending ratios and apply them to various color formats. This flexibility enables designers to create unique and visually appealing color transitions that go beyond the default CSS blending options.
