Usage

This module attempts to pick pleasing color pairs that satisfy the following constraints:

• Contrast > 4.5 for easy readability
• Avoid pure blacks and pure whites.
• Keep the background color > 0.15 luminance

var colorPairsPicker = require 'color-pairs-picker';
 
var baseColor = "#BA55D3";
 
var pair = colorPairsPicker(baseColor);
 
// Set a higher contrast over the default 5.5.
// Note, the more saturated your colors the less contrasty they'll be.
var pair = colorPairsPicker(baseColor, {contrast: 8});
