It handles color space conversions (e.g., RGB to LAB, XYZ to sRGB), calculates perceptual color differences using Delta E metrics, and can convert between color representations and spectral data. The library depends on numpy for numerical computation and NetworkX 2.0+ for graph operations.\n\nThe package is in production-stable status but abandoned\u2014the last release was in December 2017 and the repository is archived. It remains functional for color math tasks but receives no active maintenance, security updates, or compatibility fixes. Use it only if your color conversion needs are stable and you can tolerate lack of ongoing support.","worth_installing":"Yes, if your color math needs are stable and you can tolerate an abandoned package. Colormath remains functional for standard color conversions and Delta E calculations, with no known vulnerabilities. However, do not adopt it for new projects requiring active maintenance, Python version updates, or modern color science standards\u2014the lack of updates since 2017 and repository archival mean no fixes or enhancements are coming."},"id":"colormath","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/colormath","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/colormath.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/colormath/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2017-12-27","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"colormath","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Color math and conversion library."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":131721,"position":11577,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.0.0"}
