COLORS

Better colors for the web.

View the project page at http://clrs.cc

What is this?

A simple color palette for the web. Out of the box, the color strings that css provides aren't... the tops. This is a set of sass variables and css classes that should help fix that.

Getting started

Grab a copy of the code by downloading the zip from this page - or cloning/forking the repo.

git clone git@github.com:mrmrs/colors.git

Using the css

Simply copy colors.css to your css directory and include the file like so in the head of your html document

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/colors.css">

Using the Sass

The sass source can be found in a folder I creatively titled "sass." Include any or all of the three partials to your project like you would any other sass partials. But just for reference...

@import "variables";
@import "skins";
@import "links";

Using the Stylus

You an also edit the source code as stylus. Include, exclude, or modify the partials to your hearts content.
