This API exists to hopefully make live a little simpler for anyone that works with color. Send a color to one of our many endpoints and receive a color palette back, complete with the color name and hex codes.

The Color Wheel API provides color palettes based on user input and the color wheel. Each endpoint takes a color name and returns a JSON object for their specific color scheme: - GetAnalogousPalette: Returns an analogous palette. - GetComplementaryPalette: Returns a complementary palette. - GetSplitComplementaryPalette: Returns split complementary palette. - GetTetradicPalette: Returns tetradic palette. - GetTriadicPalette: Returns triadic palette.

The Color Wheel API can also take a palette of color names and tell you if it matches a specific color scheme: - CheckAnalogous: Returns true if the three colors match an Analogous palette and false if it doesn't. - CheckComplementary: Returns true if the three colors match a Complementary palette and false if it doesn't. - CheckSplitComplementary: Returns true if the three colors match an Split Complementary palette and false if it doesn't. - CheckTetradic: Returns true if the four colors match an Tetradic palette and false if it doesn't. - CheckTriadic: Returns true if the three colors match a Triadic palette and false if it doesn't.

Each controller has a two Get methods. One method handles the Get[scheme]Palette route and takes a single color, verifies the inbound color exists in the database, creates a palette if the color is in the specified palette table, and returns an error if either the palette or color is null. If not, it creates a Color object for each color in the palette, puts it in a list, and then returns the list of Color objects via the ASP.NET Core OK method. The other Get method handles the Check[scheme] route. It takes in 3-4 colors, verifies they are in the database, and returns an error if they are not. If they are in the database, the colors are thrown into a palette and then compared against the scheme specified in the route. If it exists, the colors match the scheme and a true response is sent back. If it doesn't, the colors don't match within the scheme and a false response is sent.

• Colors sent to an endpoint must be sent via a capitalize string, i.e. Red
• Colors that are made up of two color names must have a both names capitalized and a dash between them, i.e. Yellow-Green
