The draft release notes of the develop branch are available at this url.
Colour features a rich dataset and collection of objects, please see the features page for more information.
Colour can be easily installed from the Python Package Index by issuing this command in a shell:
$ pip install colour-science
Colour is also available for Anaconda from Continuum Analytics via conda-forge:
$ conda install -c conda-forge colour-science
The detailed installation procedure is described in the Installation Guide.
The static tutorial provides an introduction to Colour. An interactive version is available via Google Colab.
The How-To guide for Colour shows various techniques to solve specific problems and highlights some interesting use cases.
The main technical reference for Colour and its API is the Colour Manual.
Jupyter Notebooks are available and designed to provide an historical perspective of colour science via Colour usage.
Most of the objects are available from the colour
namespace:
