Arctic Aurora, color by color

Cold greens and blues lifted by a violet edge, with lightness climbing evenly across the stops. That even step means it gradients cleanly and works as a background wash as readily as a row of discrete accents. At home in fintech and data viz.

Create Arctic Aurora in PHP

Parse the catalog values as one ordered scale. The input remains readable while PHPColor normalizes every color.

<?php

use PhpColor\Color\Palette\ColorPalette;

$palette = ColorPalette::parse([
    'oklch(0.85 0.22 145)',
    'oklch(0.78 0.24 170)',
    'oklch(0.70 0.22 200)',
    'oklch(0.62 0.24 240)',
    'oklch(0.58 0.26 280)',
    'oklch(0.55 0.28 310)',
    'oklch(0.60 0.24 340)',
]);
use PhpColor\Color\Palette\ColorPalette; $palette = ColorPalette::parse([ 'oklch(0.85 0.22 145)', 'oklch(0.78 0.24 170)', 'oklch(0.70 0.22 200)', 'oklch(0.62 0.24 240)', 'oklch(0.58 0.26 280)', 'oklch(0.55 0.28 310)', 'oklch(0.60 0.24 340)', ]);

Inspect every palette color

Palette operations preserve order, so iteration and conversion produce values in the same visual sequence.

<?php

foreach ($palette->to('oklch') as $color) {
    echo $color->toCss().PHP_EOL;
}
foreach ($palette->to('oklch') as $color) { echo $color->toCss().PHP_EOL; }

Format Arctic Aurora for CSS

Export hexadecimal values for compact tokens or convert the full palette to perceptual CSS notation.

<?php

$hex = $palette->toHex();
$css = $palette->to('oklch')->toCss();
$hex = $palette->toHex(); $css = $palette->to('oklch')->toCss();
